Default I've got the shakes

Just bought a 12ga DH Hammergun. I bought my first parker, a GH 16, just last July. I feel powerless to combat these overwhelming desires to collect Parkers. Anyone have any advice?

The SN Is 50494 anyone have any info on it? Should be 30 Dam bbls, cyl + cyl. #1 Frame.

Hooked

Enjoy the ride. Only 2 Parkers since July? Sounds to me like you are staying on the wagon rather well

Ha,ha. I'll get pics up when the gun arrives. You'll have to help me explain to my wife how I'm barely getting started. She's not so sure.

You can play Catch and Release. Alot of the fun is in the hunt and capture. And they dont care if you dump them. Beware, however, your condition may spread to include LC Smith or anything that says London on the barrels.

First double was an over under Winchester 101 20g, next came LC smith 12 field grade, then I found my true love, Parker Bro's doubles. I'm sure there's a fox out there with my name on it too. Catch and release is a great concept, except of course for the remorse you'll inevitably feel when you let that "perfect" parker go in an attempt to procure another, and another... I am a willing participant in this awful affliction!

Well, OK, if it is a DH then it is not a hammer gun.

Mom used to give Dad grief about new guns. She made some comment that Dad's guns would breed and then have more guns. He does not have that many either.
