Two goals. 1. To still be upright and breathing in January 2020. 2. Come up with a 26" 20ga to replace the one I gave to my niece, which she finally got to shoot two weeks ago. She hit well with it and was very happy....and, as I had advised her, she refused to let anyone else, not even her parents, touch or shoot it!

That’s very sound advice.

I'm probably going the opposite way this year. I have a Model-21 20ga upgrade/custom project in the works & will probably be selling a few of my Parkers to help off-set the costs of the project. I'll resume my hunt for Parker's when the 21 project is completed.

I have responsibilities as head of a large family and all its advantages, while still useful in the wage economy. All the guns I ever wanted are in the rack. In a hunting and fishing paradise our MH Lab is a constant companion. I want nothing except, at 87, to be burning brightly to the end, and the same for all members here.

On the Parker front, just dumped them all at Silas Deane Pawn to fund my purchase of the finest flintlock rifle Carl Pippert ever made.

My goal is to finish the restoration of the VH ugly gun. I bought it at auction a few months back for next to nothing. Turns out, it's a fantastic skeet gun and I shoot it well. I posted about it when I purchased and will post the "before and after" pics when the first phase, metal refinish, is complete. Then, it is off for wood work. I saw the barrels, trigger guard and small parts after removal of rust and a proper rust blue. They look fantastic. Old engraved name removed from the action, engraving recut, and now, off to get new case colors. So far, so good, and in budget.
