You owe it to yourself (and to those of us who have done so) to read it cover to cover (each volume of course) as well as those Parker books that came before it.
It is a long, but fascinating, read and it will be very fulfilling to have done so. .

If I were having one built I would specify that at least two of the shelves with cutouts for the butts be canted up at the front edge by 3 - 5 degrees to allow for of the guns' pitch.

Dean I made my base with an 8 degree rise over 10 inches. No guns rest heavy on the toe of the butt plate and all still fall to the barrel support. Base has one inch high-density foam covered with fake leather and each spot on the visible base has a cutout for the butt. Worked for me. A cabinet would be nice for books and of course Parker Pages. Maybe next time. Cheers Jack

Ask a millennial why they are addicted to facebook, snapchat, smart phones in general and very few can explain why they can't live without it. Every time they hear a ding that someone liked their post or sends them a text, they get shot of dopamine. Essentially shooting and collecting old sxs's and more particular Parker's can in worse case scenario become an obsessive compulsive disorder that we can get so ingrained and dependent and part of our lives it takes complete control of us. I think the link below is a perfect example and Pete's reaction to hearing the Siren song is a perfect example. Instead of the women doing laundry picture those fine ladies sitting on a rock with an oil cloth polishing an old Parker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXpRxzmawjw |
