The noon stage that dropped off Roger's PP today will not arrive on the West Coast for many days... I can't wait!

I was delighted to receive the Parker Pages Monday as well. I am puzzzled over receiving five additional PP's.

Winter Parker Pages
 

Harry; I included info from a couple of your posts and considered you a contributor. Hick a several other contibutors will also recieve the five complimentary copies.

One figure was compressed to fit into the text and is really a little small. It is attached here at more readable size. Looking at that figure leaves no doubt that Parker's standard twelve ga bore size was .750 - .760 prior to s/n 70000+/-. This makes sense as it is the same as the ID of a paper shell.

We need to do some more measurements to determine if the bore diameter changes co incident with chamber taper.

Dave Suponski has been working with an unfinished barrel, and is looking into Parker's tooling, and changes in tooling.

We also need some bore measurements of Parker competition guns. The two we had available had .740 bores like Super Fox; we need perhaps 10 more guns that have competition charactaristics to see how frequent this is.

Best, Austin

Greg,

A double on woodcock???!!! That's some impressive shooting. I hope you had a witness and joined the famous club.

Actually Destry, I would rate a double on ruffed grouse more of an accomplishment than a double on woodcock. When the woodcock flights are passing through and you hit it just right, a hunter with a good dog may experience multiple opportunities in a single day to double.

Here's my witness, Winston...you will never find a more honest fellow.

He looks like he could be bribed . . .

Yup...:biglaugh:

Tough crowd around here.

He's a beautiful dog Greg. Just foolin', no harm intended.

Austin, congratulations on another great issue of PP. Hick, great article.
