I love my 410. I started shooting registered skeet with a solid rib M42 Winchester then went to a Beretta 687 EELL tube set. When I practiced I almost always used the 410.

A few years ago I found a CSM Fox FE 410 through a friend here. It's a great gun and a constant companion to Gunner's gun on my trips south for Quail.

If you haven't tried one don't knock it. There not for everyone but they are a lot of fun.

Back from where? Where have you two been?? Haven't seen either one of you since the non-held Second Annual West VA Side by Side and Other Over-The-Top Incredibly Valuable Double Gun Expo!!! LOTS of explaining to do!

Glad to see you have rejoined the fray - I was afraid you'd gotten hosed down by an elephant trunk concrete mixer filling a foundation somewhere and been entombed. (PS - Now that I know that you're OK, don't forget to call me immediately when you find that 32" barrel 20 ga. straight gripped Sterlinworth). Merry Christmas!!

Quality PH .410 and wild Kansas pheasant.

Wait for the right shot.

A WV shoot ......... Hmmm
What do you think boys!

Merry Christmas Bill Eric Bruce Russ Kevin Uncle Rich Darryl and all.

Go for it Chuck. Same to you and yours.

As Bill said
A pointer christmas to all....:shock:
The teacup setters are tough to train........thank god for traci the trainer

I have used a 410 to shoot pigeons off feed lots for years. I have mad many 40 yard shots with clean kills. The 28, 20 or 12 shoot no farther, and aren't nearly as much fun. Comparing to automobiles. The 410 is the Ferrari of shot shells, why use an old pickup when the little 410 is so much fun.

JIM, The .410 is great, but the "Ferrari of shotshells"? Maybe the 'Triumph Sprite" would fit better as a moniker.

The Triumph sprite is a good comparison, but when you have clean kills, the Ferrari comes to mind..... every time!

I've had the great pleasure of watching Jim swat many a pigeon & dove over the last few years.

I can attest to his skills with a shotgun & wouldn't doubt for a second what he claims about the .410 in his hands. Jim is the real deal as a shotgun shootist !!!

Thank you Paul,
I was thinking about Argentina again this morning while listening to Christmas Carols. I am exited about the Las Vegas Show, and will have a table there. Recently bought a round body Rizzini, the older hand engraved model in 28 ga with 30" bbls. I am thinking this is the medicine for those grey creatures that are indeed trying to bankrupt farming in Argentina. DeOra and I are fine, and hoping that rascal Jim would come this way with his lovely bride so we could share a cigar and a brandy and lie about how well we shoot.

Jim,
I don't doubt Paul's assessment of your shooting skills. Please bring your talent to bear against the Fox boys in the next PFC event. Merry Christmas.

Jim,

I've been thinking of you and DeOra as well lately.

I had my composed pair of Rizzini's out the safe the other day & thought about how we need to get another Argentina trip scheduled. I know Dr. Tom will be up for it! It's just too bad .410 ammunition is so costly down there. It would be great fun watching you put on a shooting exposition pounding spotted wing pigeons with the .410

Do you mean Austin Healey Sprite? Triumph made the Spitfire.

MERRY CHRISTMAS:
to any Parker person that reads this. It is my hope that I will meet each and every one of you at one time in my life. And at my age I had better get started. I don't know how to do it but I got a dove double with a Parker 410, as well as pigeons. I was hoping to do a double on pheasants, but that would be impossible, or I would have to shoot planted birds............not my style!

Todd, Was the original Ithaca Lefever stock full length? I have one that's been cut down on one...
