the unofficial pachmayr upgrade thread
 
1 Attachment(s)
I didn't see a specific forum for them , so if you want, lets post them here?
some may cry foul and consider them gaudy and un-parkerlike, but just between you and me, I like flashy shotguns.
I saw my first pachmayr upgrade at the Richmond show where the PCA had 3 tables set up. I fell in love with the one I have now.
I had to have it.
sure, its not the czars A1, but it was just what this young single sailor needed.
its a 26" vr ic/mod, sst, btfa, ejt, skeleton buttplate....and gold everywhere.
anyone else have a fancy for these upgrades?

I know there is a book out on them, but id sure like to discuss them here one on one. got anything to share?
numbers made? popularity? value?
ok...I started, your turns!

I take it theres not much interest in pach-parkers?
or are they somewhat scarce?
does anyone here have one?

I like it...not over-done like some gold embellished guns. Top lever work looks to be of a grouse?? Send pics of the rest of her...(-: thanks SXS Ohio
