Great idea!

3 hour trip for me so not out of the question. Meet you there Reggie :)

I threw out a bid on it just so I could someday tell the story of how I got out bid on a graded 28 gauge skeet gun, only missed it by 10 or 15 thousand:rotf:

You ain't driving 3 hours to look at a 26" barreled Parker!

Geez I must be an easy read cause you are 100% correct.

This is one heck of a nice gun!

I do question a few items like the wood finish is exceptionally free from scratches, dents & other defects when the gun has obviously been shot some by the looks of the breech face on the action & slight scratches on the barrel finishes. The top lever is left of center which I find a little concerning on a gun this clean. The trigger plate screws finish doesn't match the rest of the metal finish & then there's the Bradley type front sight that is more model-21'ish than Parker like. I sure would like to see a PGCA letter on this one!

Overall it's a really nice gun that will attract a lot of flies to this pot of honey!! Good luck guy's it's out of my league! I wonder where the over-under bets would be placed? Will it go over or under the 20K mark?:corn:

Over

What the heck . . . Under

Under

Is the case and barrel bluing original? If so- Does anybody want to take a guess on the percentage of case on the action and barrel blue? Also: Isn't the front sight an easy fix if you wanted to change to the traditional white bead.
