About 15 to 20 years ago, I forget how long ago, I blew up my 1889 Remington hammer gun with a extreme overload and bought my first Parker from a fellow who had many old SxSs. He was a railroad engineer that drove trains from Canada into Michigan and in his travels he bought many guns from Canada during their struggles with different gun laws. The whole second floor of his house was filled with guns. I got to hold a 6ga SxS and a 4ga single barrel gun. He even had a couple of shells for each gun. They were both heavy brutes. I've often wonder what kind of stories they could tell.
