There was a grade 2 hammer gun at the gunshow in Novi Mich yesterday. Tight and shootable as far as I could tell. One good but repairable bbl ding. Wood worn but could be refinished fine and is a pc of burl that would do any grade 6 proud when cleaned up. It was incredible and looked original. I've never seen wood like that on any Parker that I've ever handled. The seller chased me down to offer it to me for $600 but I'm not in a position to be able to transport it home.

I bet there are several people on here who would send the guy a check today. $40 to be able to post in the for sale section would be a good investment for him

Grade 2 Parkers of certain periods sometimes sport some exceptionally nice wood with great figure. It is most usually American Black Walnut, the imported woods generally being used on Grade 3 and higher.

One of the PGCA lifters from Austin's collection has such wood.

Just back from a workout. Call at your convenience. Bald Mountain and Island Lake are closed on Tuesday. How about tomorrow?

Tomorrow afternoon at Bald Mtn would work best for me I think.

Rich, you snuck into MI and didn't let anyone know.:shock: I was hoping we could get together for a pheasant hunt with Anderson. You have to give us a heads up...:banghead: next time. Eric

That'll work. Pick a time. I may get another few suspects also, so you're not subjected to me one-on-one.

Oops! Just saw Eric's note, Eric - can you make Bald Mtn tomorrow?

Wish I could kind of busy next couple of days due to the deer season. Thanks for the offer though.

Too bad you couldn't make it shooting today to watch us embarrass ourselves Eric! We had to chase deer off one station so we could shoot.
