Dean,

Thanks for the great pictures. It was as if I were there with you and Dave. I am querious about the three barrels hanging on the wall. I am guessing the dolls head is in a slot and would love to know how else they are supported. Until I found they are part of a four barreled set I thought that is how Parker intended to keep stocks from becoming oil soaked.

Thanks again, Harry

Harry,The doll head's are in the wood recess and the tops of the barrels are supported in a wood bracket.They are very secure.

So, Dave and Dean, is the old office still on the market? Did you sign the contract? I love the rack and am going to put one together myself. Those four barrel sets are hard to find cases for. Great work guys.

Bill, Dave and I were discussing the fact that a Marvin Huey case for that gun would be pretty dear but it needs its own case at any rate... if for no other reason than to prevent any of the sets of barrels from becoming separated from the gun.

Don't know if the building is for sale any longer - there are no signs on it or near it that would indicate so.

BTW, you may be interested to know that a friend of my daughter and her husband have bought the old Davies' property here in Andover. I've offered my services in informing them of the history of that place. They should get it listed on the National Register of Historic Places - maybe there are funds available to repair and rejuvenate the Glen Rock Kennels houses.
