I was talking to Dale Edmonds about another project the other day and he said he has restored LC Smith 8 gauges with Chain Damascus barrels. Mama Mia! I doubt Santa thinks I have been that good

I hope santa is good to everyone tomorrow and no one is disappointed. Marry Christmas and a happy and prosporous new year.

mills would not that bea grand surprise to get a lc smith 8 ga for christmas instead of a parker 8... charlie

.... more like a consolation prize :whistle:

Gary ,I'm working on something of an AA hammer gun for a stateside customer ...think its a 16 though :whistle:,the wood is coming along pretty good.

Chris, Never get tired of looking at your wood work, I have talked and sent photos to Brian and we have pretty much nailed down the type of engraving, I need to send a side photo of Miss Mattie when I get back home in January, Hope you and your family has Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Looking for a finished project in 2014, Thanks Gary

Thanks Gary ,were having a great day (bit of a sore head this morning though:crying: ) the stock is quite a bit further along than the pics show ,ready for carving and checkering actually .

Here you go. Santa did good. 28 ga. Q1, Q2.
James

James, you sure did good

Back action lifter found under our tree this morning

Santa brought my wife a VH 16 gauge with single trigger. See you all at Drakes and the Southern!

I asked for a 125 acre piece of property in lower Dorchester County Maryland for hunting Sika Deer . But alas I didn't see a deed anywhere !

James...That's a nice scarce repro for Christmas! I would have liked a repro 20 BHE with double triggers...)-: My birthday is jan-2 I can keep a wishin....

An Au Pair. For ten years my wife and children ask me what I would like for Christmas. I have asked for an au pair. I have not received one yet. Nor, even a Visiting Angel!
Merry Christmas to all.

Mills, What is the see # of your back action? Gary

1079

A 32" straight gripped 28ga., any grade. But since it was'nt under the tree this year I'll settle for good health for me and my loved ones including all PGCA members and their families.

Chris, I would like to know if that stock you have showed us is a new one made by you from a blank or if you are simply recutting an original Parker Bros. stock.

Dean, that stock and fore end is cut from a blank chosen by the customer and Chris together. Chris is a real craftsman.

I'll say he is!

Ye Ha
 

I finally got that 30" 16 gauge DHE I've been wanting!

Ye Ha!
 

I finally got the 16 gauge DHE with 30" barrels I've been wanting!

Very nice Larry congrats:bowdown:

Ditto what Rich said Larry.:bowdown:

Well I asked Santa for a Galazan wall thickness gauge ---I must have been good and found it under the tree. In the past I would have Doug Turnbull measure a prospective purchases but it was a pain due to the fact it is a 25 mile round trip run. Anyhow it is a wonderful gauge and very easy to use and from what others report very accurate. I did measure all 4 of my damascus 12 bores and they all came in at .032" plus minimum----another very nice Christmas present!!!!

Just back from Moultrie, GA, for Julia's and my annual quail hunt. Julia shot her new 16 gauge VH. I shot my Parker Repro which is also new to us in 2013. This topped off a great Christmas

Mills ,MERRY CHRISTMAS ! Looks like you folks enjoyed yourselves ! Wish my Wife would hunt with me ,she just isn't a bit interested ! Gee I wouldn't even mind buying another Parker for her !:whistle: Russ

Russ I bough my wife a smith K 22 for her birthday. She fired it once. I enjoyed that gun a lot. Mills Where are the birds. I know there still some quail in Ga.

I am still waiting on my Christmas present. Fed Ex seems to have misplaced my scope.

Wayne, the birds are in Moultrie Ga. Most were released, but they flew REALLY well

Mail service has stunk this holiday season. All of the important stuff arrived after a fashion though

I got my gift alittle early. It was the 20 ga. Sbt SC Parker than I won in the last auction. I have shot it and love it. Thanks to the wife for not yelling to much. She knew how much I wanted it. Frank

good on you..glad santa came through for you..i like the twenty also....charlie

Frank, I promise I have not forgotten to copy and send the info on your new Christmas gun. Please keep me on the list as first chance at that prize, since I have been pursuing it for decades. I have congratulated you before, and I will again, now.

Thank you Bill. You will have first "crack" at it if I ever sell. Thanks again for the info that is coming. I hope to see you at the spring sxs. Frank

Ok, here it got all my new Parker friends. I know that it's well after Christmas but maybe we can start wishing for this year. I wish for everyone to have there dream Parker 8 gauge to 410 with all the bells and whistles. Oh and we can't forget the very special place to hunt ducks, goose, turkey's, doves, the ruffed grouse.
