Something interesting followed me home yesterday.
A 34" 16 gauge with vulcan steel barrels.
Cant wait to get her out and pattern her and test her out on some FITASC targets.

Happy Holidays,
John

Sounds Great John,
Lizard, Myself, and our favorite HVAC guy are playin' hookey on Wednesday and visiting the Forge for some new horse shoes, be a great opportunity to try out your Christmas Present. As luck would have it, Lizard will also be shooting a 16 gauge that might bring back some memories!

I cant figure out how to post a picture. It keeps saying upload failed. ????

John, it probably failed because the picture is to big. Go to the www.parkerguns.org and then the FAQ page link found on the lower left of list on the left of out home page. At the bottom of the FAQ page, there are two tutorials and one is how to re-size a picture and the other is how to make a forum entry with a picture attached. Look at the re-size one and I hope it answers your questions.

They take a minute to load so give it time, they are big and depending on your connection speed it can take a few minutes.

I have been watching this way over priced gun a long while,Its original listing was 9995.00 On my regular parker search/sweep, I clicked on it to drool over it!!!...I could not beleive what I saw!!! On sale from 7999.99 to 4999.99A drop of 3000.00 ...Now thats a deal and got on the phone to buy it...(-: VHE 16ga combo set....28ic/m and 32"f/f original finish...it may have wrong DHBP ? Maybe from remington eara? Maybe when second barrel set was added? Take a look,its still on cabela's sight ref..1199997 I do not have S.N. as yet but will send for a letter to see who may have owned a gun like this...thanks all SXS ohio....(-:

Can I order a letter on this sight and pay with CC?, or is it by mail only? I took a look at the gun and zoomed in and the S.N. looks correct as posted above....and I also see this is a o-frame gun!, thats a real plus!!! few of them around. I was looking for a light 16 for grouse, and those 32" F/F pipes will work good on Kansas ringnecks too....thanks all SXS ohio...(-:

It has been confirmed by the Elves that I have been very, very good this year and have overcome unforseen obstacles with grace and poise:whistle:
therefor I have been granted an allowance of one additional gift in the form of a mint Colt Match Target which should be on Santa auxillary sleigh (the UPS truck) Monday. Santa is one hell of a good guy:bowdown:

Well I have to admit that Santa came a little early this year, a DH damascus 20 ga found it's way to my front door a couple of weeks ago. Not sure how it got there but it did finish out the D grade colllection of damascus D grades:) Not sure how it got here but I want to say a big Thank You to Santa......!:rolleyes:
