POST TRAUMATIC PARKER

Mike Franzen · 03-18-2011, 10:24 PM

A couple months back my son totaled his car. He's ok, nobody hurt. To help me get over the stress and trauma I decided a visit to Dr. Gunbroker was in order. I found this great PH 12 gauge with 30" tubes, nice condition, nice wood and a #1 frame. I sent the forend to Dave Kerr to freshen up the checkering and get some of the oil and grime out of the wood. As a little bonus the previous owner knew quite a bit of the history of this gun as it was in his wife's family for many years. Suddenly I felt much better and life is good again

Good to know your son (and gun) came out of this OK.

I'm hoping to never increase my collection under these circumstances again

Mike, we've got to get together at Elk Creek and put that old girl to work. Real nice looking gun.

I love stories with happy endings.
Enjoy the new gun.

I totaled my car about a month ago tomorrow coming home from the gun club. No one seriously injured thank goodness just bruises. My biggest trauma is I liked that car and it was paid for and I now have car payments again. Maybe I need another Parker or at least a Pre 64 M70

Cars...metal and plastic and they make them every day.....Parkers craftsmanship of wood and metal....no longer made and they outlast any car

Harry, I was just thing about you. Can you shoot this coming Tuesday morning? I want to practice and learn from the master before I go to the Southern
