bill i have a soft spot for those old lefevers...your gun would be a pleasure to tote and shoot...i really like the sound of those 28 in barrels...32 are my favorite lentgh of barrels...but in the field when walking i prefer the shorter barrels...i bet aload of 4 1/4 and a 1 1/4 ounce of lead would make a rooster mighty unhappy settiny on the dinner table..... charlie

Gents, While here in Fla Daryl Middlebrook and myself have committed a cardinal sin, of which we must seek repentence from the man above, We have been shooting english guns,yes I am afraid the deed has been done! But what fun, we are shooting 28gs hammer guns he a holland and holland which I might add he stole from the auction Co. I a William Atkinson. His is damascus, and mine steel, we are shooting his loads very low pressure, thank goodness no other Parker guys have seen us shooting these vile sporting pieces, but no problems with any barrels, but for the important part he hits most of his birds,but I believe my barrels must be bent a tad for I seem to miss a lot and of course it could not be my aim!must go for now for it is George Dickle time.

I voluteer to mete out the punishment for Gary's and Darryl's inexcusable indiscretions. I say they send me the offending English weapons as punishment. I will return them when..... well, when I feel like it I guess... I might agree to lessen the punishment if they agree to post numerous pictures of these 'vile' guns. I'm sure they're horrid looking little sticks.

Best, Dean

I must also confess my straying from the true path and yesterday purchased a 7'1" WW Greener 12 bore hammergun. I have been trying to find a light 12ga Parker Hammergun to no avail, and succumbed to the temptation of an English game gun. Sweet thing ,but I must admit it does not have that Parker "magic".
Sort of like dating that girl you did not any your friends to see you with. Now I just need to find a Greener 410 hammergun!!
