That is just about a holy grail gun.......

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.

I did relatively well for 2018 !

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 .

Jack Huber 12-18-2018 03:14 PM

I got my first Parker this year - nothing fancy, just a good, solid VH 12 gauge made in 1910.

Nothing wrong with that. Good place to start

Kenneth V Jones 12-18-2018 04:30 PM

I just had a 20 gauge Trojan delivered this week. 28" barrels IM & Full.

Jay Oliver 12-18-2018 05:45 PM

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.

Mills Morrison 12-18-2018 08:09 PM

That is cool Jay. I am not anticipating more this year but you never know

Dean Romig 12-18-2018 08:16 PM

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:

Ed Blake 12-18-2018 08:25 PM

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.

Mills Morrison 12-18-2018 08:32 PM

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

Jay Oliver 12-18-2018 08:59 PM

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.

Mills Morrison 12-18-2018 09:03 PM

Jay and Dean, don't tempt me. Lol

Rich Anderson 12-19-2018 07:21 AM

Stand your ground Mills it's hard I know.....I have failed many,many times but I'm getting better:whistle:

Karl Ferguson 12-19-2018 05:58 PM

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 ! !

Rich Anderson 12-19-2018 08:00 PM

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:

Mills Morrison 12-20-2018 12:40 PM

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

John Dallas 12-20-2018 12:46 PM

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

Dean Romig 12-20-2018 12:57 PM

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.

allen newell 12-20-2018 01:20 PM

I gave away a nice GHE 12 ga to a cousin of mine. Merry Christmas

Rich Anderson 12-20-2018 02:15 PM

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:

Matt Buckley 12-20-2018 07:55 PM

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.

In my lifetime I’ve been hung up on the old Ruger tang safety Model 77’s , Ruger #1’s , older Remington 700’s , pre 64 Winchester Model 70’s , Kimber 89 BGR’s and Mannlicher Schoenauer’s . To say nothing of the Marlin lever addiction LOL’s !

Mike Franzen 12-21-2018 01:24 AM

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

Rich Anderson 12-21-2018 07:57 AM

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.

John Dallas 12-21-2018 08:30 AM

How about a picture of the new child?

Rich Anderson 12-21-2018 08:43 AM

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

Gary Carmichael Sr 12-21-2018 02:23 PM

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

Bob Kimble 12-21-2018 09:56 PM

Just picked up a pair of Remington 1100 Special Fields. A 12 and a 20, unfired.

Got my newest to me Mannlicher Schoenauer MC Carbine in 06 Thursday . I’ve developed a soft spot for the 6.5x55 over the last five years , I’ve had no less then five Swedish unmessed with Mauser’s . Still have three of them now and also have a CZ 550FS in 6.5x55 . I’ve been drooling over a Cooper Mannlicher stocked rifle in 6.5x55 as well .

Rich Anderson 12-22-2018 09:36 AM

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

John Dallas 12-22-2018 09:39 AM

I've got a Cooper Model 22 in .22-250. It has ruined the days of a number of prairie dogs

Rich Anderson 12-22-2018 09:55 AM

Mine are all the Varmint Extreme model in 223, 220 Swift and my favorite a 25 WSSM.

Gary Carmichael Sr 12-22-2018 12:54 PM
