I sold my GHE 28 and got a check for what I paid for it, plus a 2 barrel 28ga repro. Spent the cash on slate and copper work on the roof. I love old houses.
Bought a 24" DHE 20 back in the spring that turned out to be a great grouse gun, and traded a 30" CH 12ga, plus a bit of cash for a 30" DHE20. Straight stock and killer wood.
To be fair, I bought my wife a 68" snow blower for her tractor.

A whole bunch, actually. The most interesting is a VH 28 gauge.

Not much in the way of Parkers. Gary's BHE 32inch straight grip 20 came my way. I added lots of rifles however and a Fox:)

I am getting a fast start on 2017 however with a small bore hammer gun in the works.

Kind of a slow year in '16.

Only bought two. A DHE-12 which needs some attention for a couple of issues and a first year VH-12 which was sent back to Meriden when it was a year old to have the original Vulcan barrels replaced with a Damascus set.

I'm like some of the other guy's in that I have five Parkers & a Damascus barreled Model 97 Winchester out for work or restoration right now. I'm saving my gun money for when I get the calls on these projects. But I do watch the market daily, so you never know what 2017 will hold. :whistle::shock:

1893

How accurate does this need to be?
 

Craig- is this what I actually bought and sold or what my wife knows about?

I added an early 3 dog DH 12 gauge that was really nice, than traded it off to buy a 3 dog DH 10/12 2 barrel set 3 frame.

whatta guy :rotf:

Good job Edgar, happy wife = happy life.:)

Wow, thinking back, I don't believe I bought a gun in 2016--I'll try to make up for that in 2017. I did start shooting a 20 ga hammer gun, and am leaning towards getting another hammer gun--get a lot of looks when shooting with the guys with their K guns, Perrazzis, and semi-autos locally. May need to make room by selling a couple Durston Special 20 Lefevers, a neglected Fox A 20, and a Grade 3 Ithaca 12 w/ chainlink Damascus.
My GH16 O frame has become my go to pheasant gun, and VHE 20 is my grouse favorite gun, so I'll probably stick with looking for another Parker
