Browning
 

I've never passed on a Parker I wanted; learned that lesson long ago from other guns.

Like the Browning Dianna grade super light 410 in mint condition at the Sacramento gun show for $5000. I didn't get too excited about it until the next day and we all know what happened then.....

What happened?

Missed again
 

Well, it was GONE:banghead:

Although it does remind me of the LC Smith 20 gauge Crown grade with 32" vent rib barrels that "I bought" and went back the next day to pick it up and pay the balance and the store owner sold it out from under me to the well healed, big time, trader/collector in town. The store owner said he "forgot" that it was already sold. That guy immediately sold it to a stone fruit grower in the central valley of California and I've been trying to get it back ever since. Not much hope.....

Ask and ye shall receive apparently. My good friend from Tennessee just called with a lead on a Model 11 20 gauge with 28 inch solid rib cylinder bore barrel and I bought it just about four minutes ago. Couldn't have happened in the middle of the summer when I wasn't sticking back money for duck trips of course. But hey, I wasn't gonna miss the 2nd one and that's for sure.

destrey you done good...show us the gun when you got time...charlie

Congratulations! Now let's see if my friend calls about a certain 2 frame, 10 gauge hammer gun I've been coveting... :rolleyes:

The 32 inch solid rib barrel I've got it dead mint. The gun has some wear to the blue so they won't match up perfectly but I beggars certainly can't be choosers with something that scarce. If anybody has a 32 inch 20 gauge solid rib barrel that's been used a bit I'd be happy to swap. Hah!
