VHE upgrade to AHE

[David C Porter]

This is an upgrade I did about 20-25 years ago that I saw come up for sale recently, I did the stockwork, checkering, & receiver profiling. I should have kept it, but at some point something has to go or the safe overflows.

Wow, an exceptional gun. Who is selling this?

[David C Porter]

It's already been sold. For your info. the engraving was done by Richard Boucher. He did most of the Pachmayr "Parker upgrades" back in the 80-90's

WOW, love the Hessian-style (slim profile) forend!! The custom-stocked AE Fox 20 ga. 32" gun we bought from the Dana Tauber collection in Julia's 2017 auction has a nearly identical forend treatment. I don't know who restocked the gun but the quality of the wood to metal fit is unsurpassed!!

[David C Porter]

I did the stock work, checkering, & receiver profiling. I've been a stockmaker for about 40 years.

[David Livesay]

Mr. Porter, you are quite the craftsman. Your work is beautiful.

Wow, what a beautiful gun!
If I were younger and in a different tax bracket I would love to own one like that!

BTW, back in the day, I owned a beautiful Runge DelGreco A1 Special that was built on a 32" Remington VHE Trap Gun.
This was the highlight of my Parker collection that I unfortunately had to sell.
If you want to make a lasting impression at a pigeon shoot, just set an A1 S trap gun in the rack alongside the Italian P guns.

Beautiful gun.

[Keith Sirmans]

Wow!

I recently bought a Runge upgrade also. Here’s the initial plate.

Yes. Here's a (poor)shot of Runge's signature.

Here's a better shot of it.

Jaqua’s has some of Shelly’s Parker guns on the rack right now. I was chatting with Jake today while looking at Parker’s and he mentioned that you can recognize Shelly’s guns because they look perfect.
