I wonder if parker brothers ever made a roll crimper for the 8 gauge...I know they had them for the 10 ga. I had one of them and sold it here to someone... I have a roll crimper for the 8 gauge but it does not have any markings on it...works good...charlie

Charlie, is your role crimper the kind with a crank and a lever that forces the hole into the rolling head? Or is it the kind that you put in the drill press.

Well Charlie, I’d say it was a rare one because it being 8 ga., but if Daryl has it, you know it was rare. Those old crank ones do such a better job than the drill press type.

I was with Daryl in Connecticut when we found that crimper and related eight gauge tools. I insisted he buy it and he was trying to let me have it. Daryl also had a sizer, but I guess you missed that. When was "Daryl's estate" offered for sale, Charlie? He had awesome big guns, but I guess you didn't buy any of them.

Shot two punkin balls and two slugs all from the right barrel at 25 yards . The two punkin balls looked pretty decent the two slugs are still a bit apart . Might try a couple more wraps of tape on the slugs .
