149 Year Celebration

[Wayne Owens]

It appears the 2024 Dove season will be a good one. The old Parker lifter can still get it done!

[Garry L Gordon]

Have fun with that nice gun, Wayne. I hope to add a lifter to my arsenal someday.

WOW now that's very cool, looks like a beautiful B grade. I always get jealous when early teal opens. We have good number right now in NY, but no season :banghead:

[Wayne Owens]

Thanks Craig! The gun though is a grade 6 according to the 6 stamped on the barrel flats and the 6 stamped in the wood under the trigger guard.

Really nice Wayne! I may have asked before, but where were you hunting? Seems like it was SE AZ? I'm from Tempe, but I'm shooting near Coolidge / Casa Grande area. I saw Stan's post, and after seeing your's I'm kinda wanting to take a couple of my lifters out for some vintage shooting! Nice job on your harvest!

[Wayne Owens]

Thanks Chris. We were hunting NW of Phoenix. Hunting with Parker hammer guns makes the hunt just that more enjoyable. Using a Parker lifter shooting brass shells for taking game is the pinnacle of a memorable hunt in my opinion. I really love those lifters!

[Chris Robenalt]

Wayne, it's been a while for me. I know now that Saturday will be a lifter day for me as well! Hopefully the birds are flying in numbers and I'll have some pictures to prove it! Happy shooting!
