I have a couple of youngsters I want to give a Parker to, but until they learn how to treat them not in the way they treat the guns they hunt with, they won't get them. I should give them a beater I guess but I wanted to do better than that. Every time they come they have forgotten their gun case, throw it into the back of the truck like it is a garden hoe, and don't ever oil or clean them.

Kinda takes you back in time , that feeling of waiting for your brand new Parker to arrived after your dealer ordered it for you. Looks perfect ! Now go out and make some memories with it.

Someone was asking about Brian's work recently, so I am reviving this thread. It also reminds me I need to take this gun out for quail in the near future.

I too am rethinking about whom I give my guns some of my grand children do not care about hunting so I guess they will inherit some thing besides a parker...charlie

Does Harry still want to shoot elephants?
