Single bead around bolsters?

No, single bead is correct. The stock is checkered as an AH or BH, but not AAH.

My thanks to all who contributed to another great publication!

I note the Back cover listing a Morphy auction the first few days of May this year describing a small bore AAH.

I cannot seem to locate details on this auction or gun on Morphy site or anywhere else. Is this an accurate set of dates? Does anyone have link to this gun description?

Please post if so. TY.

Great job as always Mike and Sammy -

I don’t know. It’s really no one’s business what I get in the mail and a magazine with firearms emblazoned on it isn’t really going to convince rabidly liberal postal workers that they are missing the boat and our cause is a worthy one.

Other collector’s associations mail their publications discretely and don’t even spell out the name of the organization and use abbreviations instead. For example, the Smith & Wesson Collector’s Association becomes “SWCA”.

I understand the reasons behind the desire to not advertise your interest in guns. The internet has changed everything in that our participation in these forums gives away our identities and a well versed person with bad intent can easily find you.
Theft is my biggest concern and my mailman sees the deer heads on the living room wall when he brings PP and knows how they got there. My guns are in 2 Mosler fire proof safes unless in use and other security precautions are taken
Everyone in town knows i shoot and hunt so the locals are aware. My concern is the pro and i have done all i can to defeat him therefore i do not worry about it.
Have a friend who turns his suv backend to the house so that no one can see him put his cased Browning in the back. I asked him if he was ashamed of what he did and he stopped.

Participation on this forum, particularly, gives away our identity. I brought that up awhile ago. Other forums identify you by your username. This one feels the need, for whatever bizarre reason, to identify you by name. Still don’t understand that.

It’s best to go about life discreetly.

The PGCA is so fortunate to have so many dedicated members that freely contribute time and articles for the Parker Pages. Very nice edition!

With the latest statistic of over 60% of households in the USA owning at least one firearm, one should realize that the chances of entering a home with a firearm is greater than not should comfort firearm owners and warn off bad actors. It is what it is.
