A Fine Surprise!!

I was in one of my safes the other day, perusing and handling some of my SxS guns, when lo and behold, I did have an extra Parker hammer gun!!!! I knew I had a top-lever 12g, I just wasn't sure where I had it. Sometimes having the attention span of a gnat is a good thing, and I was pleasantly surprised that I really did have it!!! It is a pretty gun, nice wood and the bbls are sweet. I did shoot the gun well. Only reason I forgot about it was I left it behind a couple years ago and picked up a Parker Under-lifter and had been enjoying that gun since. Now I have a "new" gun to shoot this winter!! Merry Christmas to me!!

Maybe I'll get some pics posted here soon. I hope you all enjoy some "surprises" this Christmas!!

Good. Now you can shoot the hammer event with us at the Spring Southern Sunday morning.

Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year.

All my best,

John

Just like you mike I also found a hammer 12 about a week ago. Found the letter first. That made me start looking. I don't think I have even fired this gun. Its kind of a pleasant surprise.

I loaned a gun out about twenty five years ago and I remember what it was and that I loaned it out but I cant for the life of me remember who I loaned it to. It never came back.
