To All that have contacted me concern the Parker Gun Sacks.

The ad in the Parker Pages kind of left off a little info, so hope this note clears up some concerns
1. Make checks payable to the PGCA
2. Send check to Allan H. Swanson, 482 Skyline Dr. Weathersfield,VT 05156
3. The cost listed here includes shipping
1 sack=$20.00
2 sacks=$30.00
3 sacks= $38.50
4 sacks= $45.00
5 sacks= $53.50

7 Each addition sack will cost $56.00 PLUS$8.50

Here you go Bill.

It is a full-length gun sock measuring 48-inches with a drawstring on one end and will stretch a couple of inches.

I had originally said I believed they were silicone-impregnated but THEY ARE NOT. They absorb water readily but you can treat them yourself with silicone or anything you wish.

Parker originally provided two piece gun sleeves , a khaki muslin for lower grades and a tan chamois cloth or flannel for D and above. Could the PGCA at some point offer reproductions of the originals?

They were called "shirts" in the order books. Don't ask me why!

I was gonna ask about 2-piece as well; copies of the originals would be cool but I'd settle for knit ones. The ones I use now say Beretta on them; how embarrassing!
