One owner Parker

[Stepmac]

I own, shoot and charish my Dad's Knickerbacher SxS 20 gage. His dad bought it from the fellow who became the trap champion of Kansas and gave it to my dad for his 10th birthday. I think my grandfather paid $6 for the gun. My dad and his dad hunted together for over ten years with that gun. My granddad using an old Remington model 11 in 12 gage, which I got. It had a Poly choke. When hunting ducks my grandfather had jammed it in the mud and when he shot it, it opened up the last inch or two of the gun. Thus the Poly choke. 35 years ago someone broke into my apartment and stole it.

But I still have my dad's old Knickerbacher. It was the first shotgun I shot, and from that day since I've liked two triggers. It's a side lock gun. I'll have to get a picture of it and post it. My dad had it reblued about 35 years ago. He is gone now, and so is his dad, but when I handle that old 20 I remember those two men and the great times they had together shooting ducks and bob white quail in western Kansas. It got to do it with them too and if I could relive some days, those just might be them.
