Just CAme Aboard
Hi to all my new and old Parker friends. I've been lurking for a few days, a darn fewer than other hobby related websites though. I moderated one of the Land Rover websites for years and always appreciated when a new guy stopped in to say hello.
My dad and I were Parker collectors for decades before the PGCA. Infact, he's been gone for almost 30 years. I don't have so many of the guns left what with the kids and schools etc, but still a nice collection to wipe down and reflect.
When I was a teenager, I took an old Tee Latch Lifter action to a show and swapped it for an S&W. I got smarter as I got older. Only recently did I start paying a little more attention to the stuff we used to consider dust collectors. I traded what many would consider a beautiful percussion target rifle for what I thought was a 14ga. 0 grade lifter. Not wanting to appear too eager to close the deal, I really spent very few minutes checking the gun over, but when I got home was delighted to find it's a 16ga, with lightened watertables.
I'm like Ralphy in The Christmas Story, checking the mailbox for my letter for this gun.
Anyway, Hi All, Glad to be here legally.
