Please ignore the comment about a + sign. I have long since learned that is on the middle screw when all screws are the same length. Need to revise this pic

Thanks for the welcome and the information guys.

I do a lot of duck hunting in small rivers where the first shot is always 20 yards or less and the second shot is further out. I think this Parker will work nicely for that, a third shot usually doesn't happen so only two rounds is fine.

I still remember my first duck hunt 35 years ago when I was 13 like it was yesterday, I had gotten an early 40's Savage Fox model B 12ga the previous Christmas from my parents, I can still see that green headed mallard with his wings set and orange legs hanging down reaching for the water. I shoulder the savage and fire, he's still in the air, I fire again, he flies off with not a feather out of place. LOL, I heard about for years after. Thankfully my wing shooting improved since then and have taken lots of ducks and geese.

I am patiently waiting with anticipation for the research letter to arrive. I have been reading all the past posts absorbing what info I can.
Thanks again, John
