I watched with great anticipation, only to be disappointed, particularly what they did to the Parker, total incompetence IMO. Surprised to see Doug Turnbul would actually engage in it.

There is no crying in gunsmithing!!! WOW I watched it on demand and repeatedly found my self mumbling WTF are they thinking. I don't like the concept but given the challenge and a potential $10k .... get a working Hammergun cut the barrels and spend the rest of the time on the stock. These guys made it as hard as you could.

I'm looking forward to the shows Marty mentioned. Richard Flanders: being an alaska guy, I'd like your take on the show Mountain Men, if you've seen it of course? We enjoy that show and I'm kind of partial to the old fella' Tom in Montana. He's got a Shorthair and lets her tag along and help him in the field, provided there's no obvious danger in having her there..how bad could he be? I'm sure the show's got some fluff (MM) but the guy Marty that flies in to Alaska by himself is reported to be the real deal. And in fact, pretty well respected by many. |

I would like to see more of Bucky Winkley, who has the lowest number, still operating, Alaska Guide's License.
I first met Bucky in about '62 or '63. He also lived in Danvers, MA and we were introduced by a mutual friend. Bucky was about 21 or 22 then and he would go to various sportsmen's clubs putting on a movie and slide show and I would go along to help set up and break down. As young as he was I was even younger and I learned a lot from him. I still have some of the things he gave me - a couple of pen & ink drawings he did of Dall rams and big brown bears - he was an excellent artist! https://www.adn.com/49th-estate-real...ge/2014/05/01/ .

Enjoyed the clip! I have been so fortunate to get to spend just a little bit of time up there and met some wonderful self sufficient people much like your friend. |

That show is a pretty good abject lesson for why you want your parker worked on by a true gunsmith as opposed to a guy with some tools who likes working on guns....
And I can typically give reality show people a break as they need the promotion for their business and trying to get their name out there, but Doug Turnbull is not one of those people and I can't believe he let himself be associated with this joke of a production.
