Not a crack. That is the seam between the roll joint and the frame.
Look at any of your other parkers and you will see that seam. Some are less visible than others.

Yep Brian your correct!! Thanks Craig

So all we know is that there were only 6 AAH twenty gauge guns made with 32" barrels.

That definitely has the trap comb on a beautiful piece of wood and it looks like recut checkering correctly done. It wouldn't surprise me to learn the work had been done at Pachmayer.

I can just hear the wheels turning. If only I sold this, this and this, took a withdrawal from my 401K, I could totally buy that gun. LOL. I’m with you, but won’t be bidding.

Pull some cash out of one of your life insurance policies, especially if nobody holds a mortgage on your home.

Or, alternatively, you could knock over a bank. Acquiring nice 32" small bore Parkers sometimes calls for desperate measures. Trust me.

:whistle:

Thats the last way I'd finance a gun. If you take it that way your subject to a loan rate of around 8% and it snowballs every year if at least the interest isn't paid. At the very least the tax free death benefit for your family is reduced by the amount of the loan or the cash withdrawal. This could also effect your premium payments. Your much better off doing a home equity loan and in most cases that interest is tax deductible.
Another option is the 0% offer credit cards will give good customers. For a small fee of 4% or so I can take a cash advance interest free for up to 18 months in some cases. I did this to help with a BHE straight grip 32 inch 20 a couple of years ago and on the recent AHE 20.

In my case.... no mortgage, multiple life ins policies, easy decision.... I cashed out of one policy completely.

I really, really love side by sides, but I can’t imagine explaining a home equity loan to my wife to buy a shotgun. Go get it, gents! Someone will wind up with that amazing gun.

Tom Sellick promotes home equity loans. We could call him for advice, except he may be the guy who outbids you. I guess I wouldn't trust his advice.
