Manager says it can't be shot cause of Damascus. I tried to explain to him that it could but he thought I was nuts. I might go buy it today but don't need another Parker. If anybody wants it let me know and I'll go get it. Ray

I'm pretty sure that if you just go buy it someone here will mercifully put you out or your misery and take it off your hands....!

And you better hustle before the dealer smartens up...

And 32" bbls?! Straight grip?! Could be this gun is worth more than 3.5K parted out....

I am so tempted to call that store and buy.

I must resist temptation, I must resist temptation...

OOhhhh! Silence... lovely silence! I hear in the background the crackling of ozone in the air from frantic PM's flying, and the sound of phones melting down from ringing non stop! So, let us know who ends up with it, eh? Time to go plow some snow here; the sunlight is just peeking over the horizon...

Checked their website HERE You can get a nice VH 28 ga for 18,999. 14 Parkers shown. No CHE, so either not photographed and listed on the site or it's gone already. Suspect the "sounds of silence" will soon be over.

Better go buy that gun! or some good friend will do it for you . Not me, ain't got hammers.

I'd guarantee you that gun was sold within the first couple hours after the first posting about it and we'll never hear who bought it. It wasn't me.

Ok, I'll just go buy the rascal. The asst mgr has it on hold for me pending approval of my offer. They will never sell it. You can barely buy a 870 at this store. Tho, they do have several old Parkers. Two DHE 20 ga straight grips both horribly refinished for 12k and 18k. They are nothing but shooters at this point. I wonder how they ended up with them since they really don't even have a decent selection of modern shotguns (they sell mostly handguns).

Anyway, I'll have it in my safe tonight and figure it out later. I don't collect CH's and I don't know much about straight grips, 32" barrels, etc. Why would something order these features?

Thx, Ray

You should get a good seniors discount for an "unshootable" gun like that.

That's the spirit Ray!! I've had time to plow my pad and driveway, go sweep the planes and pick up my mail, and make a pot of tea and you don't own the gun yet??? Good thing you have it on hold! The seller has likely changed his phone number by now; got tired of answering it every 15 seconds...
