Tony, yours is not a rare story. I'm "only" 70 and am considering some serious thinning of the herd here soon. May the winds be at your back from here on.

The price didn't surprise us, but Milton's mention did.
Seeing as this thread goes back to 2011 , when I first discovered Parkers I was 18 and now and almost a decade later I can say it wasnt a passing phase and I still love these old guns . For me it doesn't get much better than seeing a long barreled 10 gauge .

Kevins is a local place , I havnt been to the Thomasville shop but have been to the Tallahassee one . The guy behind the counter said he keeps most of his goodstock at the Thomasville store . Though when it comes to Parkers the best place to find one is here on the PGCA .

I was looking at a repro he had on the rack I think it was 6k , came home and found a identical one on GI for 5k . Not that I would buy one just a observation I made .

I rarely buy guns locally because of sales tax .
