What did you add to your Parker Collection in 2016??

Good job Edgar, happy wife = happy life.

Wow, thinking back, I don't believe I bought a gun in 2016--I'll try to make up for that in 2017. I did start shooting a 20 ga hammer gun, and am leaning towards getting another hammer gun--get a lot of looks when shooting with the guys with their K guns, Perrazzis, and semi-autos locally. May need to make room by selling a couple Durston Special 20 Lefevers, a neglected Fox A 20, and a Grade 3 Ithaca 12 w/ chainlink Damascus.
My GH16 O frame has become my go to pheasant gun, and VHE 20 is my grouse favorite gun, so I'll probably stick with looking for another Parker

Harold just reminded me; I forgot I also picked up from Jim Malone, a DH 16, 0 frame with 28" D4 barrels. I don't know why that one slipped my mind as it is a real nice shooter

Bill who?

Bill Scwartz. One of the owners of the Lefever operation. He passed earlier this year.

A whole bunch, actually. The most interesting is a VH 28 gauge.

Not much in the way of Parkers. Gary's BHE 32inch straight grip 20 came my way. I added lots of rifles however and a Fox

I am getting a fast start on 2017 however with a small bore hammer gun in the works.

Congrats Mills on your new 'go to' quail gun... and if you ever venture into our Yankee woods you'll be well armed for grouse & woodcock.

Here is the only Parker I purchased this year. It was on a table at the Vegas show last January. Looking forward to the 2017 show!

Kind of a slow year in '16.

Only bought two. A DHE-12 which needs some attention for a couple of issues and a first year VH-12 which was sent back to Meriden when it was a year old to have the original Vulcan barrels replaced with a Damascus set.

I'm like some of the other guy's in that I have five Parkers & a Damascus barreled Model 97 Winchester out for work or restoration right now. I'm saving my gun money for when I get the calls on these projects. But I do watch the market daily, so you never know what 2017 will hold.
