At the back of the safe...

[Garry L Gordon]

Twice a year I pull all guns from the safe and inspect them, wipe them down, and run a swab down the barrels. I really should sell some, but each has a story.

Here's a nice 20 bore J. Y. Potter that I've had for years. I have killed quail with it, but it carries and is choked like it should be a 'cock gun. I'm leaving it close to the safe door and plan to take it our for home covert woodcock this coming Fall.

[Harold Lee Pickens]

Oh my, that one is special. Details? barrel length, chokes, weight etc. It must be opened choked. I love my little G Forrester scottish hammer 20 bore with 30" barrels.

[Keith Sirmans]

Oh that is wonderful

[Garry L Gordon]

The gun has nice 28 inch barrels, re-proofed for 2 3/4" shells, weighs 5 lbs. 6 oz. and is choked .002/.008. The drop at heel is 2 inches, great for rising birds.

Doesn't it sound like a woodcock gun? Light enough to carry easily with one hand while the other fends off brush. Open chokes for that close shot with 3/4 oz. of small shot.

Would think it would do a great job on those Missouri quail.

It has certainly done that. But these days, it's hard to leave a Parker home on a quail hunt.

Gary: Nah... at that weight with those barrels choked like they are it is a "cock" and quail gun for sure over a good Gorden... Yea buddy...

[Mike Koneski]

Load that right bbl up with 7/8 oz of #10, 11 or 12 shot and the left with 7/8 oz of #8 and you're diggin' where the taters are! :)

She's definitely sexy, I think we can still say that, right? :D

Not really the "Back of the safe" because it's a recent aquisition.

That's a beauty, Dan, and another Smith with knockout wood.
