I just gave my Daughter her 21st Birthday present. I purchased it at the Las Vegas show in 2005. It is a 20ga GH, straight stock, Dam 4 30" tubes, leather covered pad and weighs 6lb 5oz. Modern Dims made in 1917. It's her first Parker and was very pleased. I was a good day for me too.

Nice gift. That is a Parker that I have been searching for to add to my modest collection.
I have introduced a few people to shooting SXS and usually pick a 20. It just works.
Best,
Patrick

You've asked for pix, GH or Daughter? (Ha-Ha) It's the lower GH of the pair. She also received the fitted antique case. I'm still looking for a husband for her.

Very nice gun indeed!
So where's the picture of your eligible daughter shooting her gift Parker?

One of her skinning a deer, skeet shooting a RBL 28 (had to be left handed) and driving a rental Mustang.

Yes, very proud, she told us her grades for fall semester at Auburn today, Heat transfer A, Systems Analysis A, GPS Analysis A, Graph Theory A, Java Programming A. Better than I did getting my BSME by a long shot. Must be the water.

I won't run steel through mine either. I've been to Wetumpka for a pheasant shoot. Used my CHE 12 for that. Warmed up on some 5 stand.

There used to be or still is a guy named Gabby Hulgan down there that was somewhat the pooh as a skeet shooter back when I was still doing it . Seems to me he ran a skeet club down there for awhile . And that's about all I remember !

Mr. Hulgan started the skeet squad at Alabama. We are an Auburn Family, might not mix that well.

I don't know what other shooting you do but the just opened a new CMP range in Teladaga. I think you can shoot trap there also. There is supposed to be another new range opening in this era but I do not know if its ready yet.
