Is there a suppport group??

With due apologies to both Gen. Douglas MacArthur and The Grateful Dead-- Nice 12- PH or GH with the Twist barrels? I don't buy from the auction sites, but as someone once said "Just because a man is on a diet doesn't mean he can't peruse the menu all he wants"--

Dave, I think you'd like the PH 16 with 26" Twist barrels on the 0 frame I recently bought- and had lettered- shipped off to a dealer in Maine in June 1908- with 26" barrels as ordered. Brother Harry Collins helped me get a replacement top lever spring, and you also gave me some good details on the King 18 pc. action design-

It works fine (albiet with snap caps- haven't gotten any BP loads yet-) and the other day I showed it to a member of our Hunt Club- he is an over-under man (mainly the Italian guns) and a fine shot- when he put it up to his shoulder (I hadn't told him it was a 16) just that it was a 100 year old Parker, his remark to me was "Wow, a 20 gauge- what a sweet well balanced double"

I think part and parcel of the "Parkeritis" that bites so many of us severly at times is- many of us here are getting "long in the tooth" and we yearn for the boyhood days afield with parent and grandparents- No condos or golf courses, no Posted signs, rural folks all knew each other and knew how to be good neighbors, you could buy a M12, a Ithaca NID, shells and even dynamite and fuse from any rural hardware store in America's heartland without question-- Times have sure changed- I think the late Robert Ruark predicted this in one of his stories "Same Knife, Different Boy"-
