My 2018 New Year's Resolution was a time out from new guns for the year. I did not just break that resolution, but I killed it and destroyed all the evidence.

Added 3 or 4 Parkers , a Kimber 1911 10mm , a pair of CZ 527 HB rifles , three older Leupold target scopes , Benelli Montefeltro , Browning A-5 Mag 32" and I have a Mannlicher Schoenauer MC Carbine in 30-06 on the way that "should" be here by Thursday . Oh yeah and an AR 22LR . |
I got my first Parker this year - nothing fancy, just a good, solid VH 12 gauge made in 1910.

I just had a 20 gauge Trojan delivered this week. 28" barrels IM & Full.
|
I managed to squeeze in one more Parker before the end of the year from an auction yesterday. A 1887 12 gauge TA hammer gun grade 0 with 30" twist barrels. It's serial number is just 20 lower than a gun I already have.
|
That is cool Jay. I am not anticipating more this year but you never know
|
Okay Mills - Here's the challenge... There are only 12 days left in the year. Let's see if you can add another Parker every six days. That's two new Parkers by the end of the year. :corn::whistle:
. |
I added two 10s and a SBT. One of the 10s is a 32” #4 frame Grade 3 hammer gun ordered by DuBray in 1886.
|
I bought 2 4 frames. Both E grades. Waiting on the Research letter for the second one, so maybe it will be ordered by someone famous
|
Thanks Mills...and of course you have plenty of time to add another Parker before the end of the year. I really wasn't planning this last one, but I am glad I got it.
|
Jay and Dean, don't tempt me. Lol
|
Stand your ground Mills it's hard I know.....I have failed many,many times but I'm getting better:whistle:
|
On the way hopefully before Xmas is a very nice O frame VH 20 w/ 28" barrels for my grandson from a very respected gentleman here on the forum.
Thank you Randy for getting me in touch with him ! ! |
I will pick up a custom rifle tomorrow, some shells get her scoped up and sighted in and have it in the deer blind by the afternoon hunt.:clap:
|
I need to expand my rifle collection. I basically have 3. A Ruger 270 with Leupold scope which is my go to rifle. Also have a Whitney lever action which belonged to my great Uncle and a Remington lever action. I just don't understand the world of rifles and there is too much information on other stuff in my brain already
|
I've got several Ruger #1's, and I like 'em. 30-06 and 25-06. Also have a LH Ruger 77 in .270 for my grandsons, and it is a tack driver. Lot of gun for the money
|
Ruger makes great rifles, pistols and very decent shotguns. I have some of each.
Mills, you only need to get one more rifle... a scoped Ruger 10/22. . |
I gave away a nice GHE 12 ga to a cousin of mine. Merry Christmas
|
The rifles are as much an addiction as the shotguns. Rain has foiled me in getting her sighted in today but maybe in the am and hunt in the pm. I must admit it came out nicely and will probably be my last as the smith is retiring.:banghead:
|
I added a Parker 10 Gauge Lifter made in 1880, Grade 0 32" Twist Barrels #3 frame 2 5/8" chambers that I purchased from member Jay Oliver. I shot my biggest Tom Turkey I have ever killed this spring with it. It weighed over 23lbs. I'm very happy with this addition and hope to add a 28 gauge Reproduction to my collection in the coming year.

I added a:
VH 28 gauge, 28” bbls Gr 2 10 ga lifter, 2 frame, 30” bbls H gr 16 ga LeFever, 28” steel bbls, ejectors, cocking indicators |
Craig I have collected pre 64 M70's for a very long time have a couple of Ruger #1's, a custom and a 450/400 NE. One gun I regret selling even after 30+ years was a #1 AB in 7X57. My latest custom is a full Mannlicher stocked 6.5 X 55.
|
How about a picture of the new child?
|
I'll put pictures up in a new thread John. Today is the second straight day of rain so I guess I'll have to take them inside. Trying hard to get to the range and get it sighted in. We have until the 23rd to hunt a buck with a rifle and the late doe season goes to Jan. 1. I'd like to bloody it yet this year.

Was very fortunate to acquire 3 Parkers, that I have looked for for a while , A grade 2 lifter 20ga hammer gun, A grade 1 20 ga TL hammer gun, and The holy grail for me AA Hammer gun with 32" Whitworth steel barrels ordered that way! Gary
|
I almost forgot the gun I got from you Josh, a screamer 0 grade if it has been fired at all I would be surprised, Gary

Coopers are nice rifles, I have three of them. I'll take pics today of the latest build and post on a new thread.

I've got a Cooper Model 22 in .22-250. It has ruined the days of a number of prairie dogs
|
Mine are all the Varmint Extreme model in 223, 220 Swift and my favorite a 25 WSSM.
|
