She's not a Redhead or a Blonde but this Foxy little porn star followed me home from the Southern:whistle:

Good Morning Rich ,WOW :bowdown: She sure is Beautiful !!!!!!!! I know this is a little personal but ,are you sleeping with her ?????:rotf:

Yes so what's your point Russ.....:rotf:

Are you shoot'n it?

just nearly to pretty to hunt with mind you i said almost....great gun.... very nice.... charlie

I'll give her the trial run Sunday on the Sporting Clays course. It will make for a fine Rabbit gun:)

them rabbits will just about jump outa them bushes to get shot by such a beauty... charlie

Forgot to ask about that other gun that followed you back from the Southern.... Folks, Rich is keeping his record unbroken, two guns picked up at the Southern for as long as we have gone......I'll let him tell you about the other gun that followed us back to Michigan...:shock:

:corn:

Seems Rich has a mild case of Lockjaw :coffee:

First off no Secret Service Agents or CIA agents were involved in this Porn operation.

The second gun is a DHE 20, PG,DT,SPL, Skeleton butt Vent Rib w/30 inch bbls choked M/F and will flat grind a target.

Could be major......

I think Steve sets up at these events because he knows beforehand that you will be there with your blood money.

I haven't bought a gun from Steve this year........yet:whistle:

Rich ,Pictures,Pictures,Pictures ! I'll bet those 30" Barrels keep that little gun swinging ! Congratulations ,this one sounds like a gem also ! Russ

lordy i would bout trade a 3 legged cat for one of those long barreled 20 s.... charlie

Russ this makes the second 30 inch VR 20 for me. The other one is about 90% case color and straight grip, SST, BTF to a Hawkins pad. It makes for a nice Pheasant gun. Now I have a pair:)

It's about time you got a pair.:rotf:

Are your serial numbers close?

Boy, your bone marrow must be working overtime:shock:

Bill I believe there with in 10,000. I know the one gun is 222223 and the other is in the 230K range.

I'm going to sneak in a Parker .410 question here, since this is a .410 thread. OK, here goes. Does anyone know about the round barrel Parker .410s, the ones without the little step near the chambers? Was it just the first few .410s that were built that way, or is it my imagination that such guns even exist? Does anyone own such a gun and what is the serial number?

Bill, I stole this pic off of Gunbroker. Are you referring to the portion of barrel that rests on the watertable, just below the hinge pin? If you are, I have a vague recollection of seeing one which, rather than the barrel dropping straight down, rolled under.

I spose since I went to the trouble of stealing the picture, I ought to at least use it.
BTW, if this is not the area you're refering to, then, as usual, I have no idea what you're talking about.

I think the guy that had all the .410's years ago had one in his collection.Was his name Otis? He had some pictures of some of his guns showing the variations and I recall one had round barrels all the way out as I thought he had gotten in a 28 with all the .410's.Going by a 35-40 year old recollection but I think I am right.

Thanks Bob, I would love to see that variation.

Bill it is not your imagination, the very early 410's were round barreled and then I think I was told the step was done as it reduced machining time. I had a D grade 410 straight grip with full round barrels but traded it off, it was the only one that I have seen.

Well, the world,at least the "Parker world" is ready for someone to produce a bare bones .410 repro that you can finish yourself to suit. Sort of like the in the white A1's that Galazan had.I suppose you would have to keep it under 6 grand to sell very many.I bet Tony has thought about it and wonder what he came up with when he "crunched' the numbers.

The step in the picture is what I'm talking about. Is Daryl Middlebrook's early .410 an example of the "round barrel" variation? Does anyone know when they went to the stepped barrel and if there is a picture of the early round barrel in TPS?
