Gomer Pyle's Parker
 

Yup, that's right. The other night I was watching an Andy Griffith rerun about the time the Feds sent a gold shipment through Mayberry. Gomer was deputized and given a SxS shotgun, and sure enough, it was a Parker as clear as day. Don't know the grade, but the barrels looked on the long side. Might have been a 34" 28 gauge DHE, but who knows.

:shock:

You sure it wasn't a 32" 28 ga. Sterlingworth with the recessed hinge pin?

:shock::shock::shock:

Did they give him any shells for it??

One, but Andy made him keep it in his pocket.

Does anyone know how we can see the show without buying a DVD of the season? I have watched the dove hunt a few times but don't remember where I found it. The episode with the gold shipment is "A Black Day for Mayberry", 1963.

Bill,

Just for s's & g's I did a little digging and found which episode it was but I was not able to find the actual eposide online. Try YouTube? Some of the eposides are there but I couldn't find this particular one.

Good luck,

JDG

I remember seeing that episode about a year ago. Gomer was running around waving a Parker that Andy had given him to help out with armored car guard duty, and yes, it had very lonnnnng barrels... Was probably Nash B's long lost 34" Parker fowler...:D

The episode is available on You Tube. It is in three parts. I included the times to fast forward with Gomer handling the Parker.
