A Work In Progress
This is the 12 gauge D Lifter that was gifted to me by Austin Hogan when I went to his home to help him sort his guns, and the guns he was storing for the PGCA, when he was on his deathbed.
The Parker-made Laminated Steel barrels are going out today to be refinished.
The barrels shown are not those from Austin’s Lifter but I sincerely hope they come back looking like this other set that have been refinished by the guy I’m sending Austin’s barrels to.
