I'm glad to hear that, I bought my Parker VHE 410 skeet gun from Randy twenty some years ago, I picked it up from my gunsmith and called him from the shop to say I got it etc. and before I could say more he said "send it back" yes he had seller's remorse :) No I didn't send it back.

I talked last week with a gent who was offered a full case (20 boxes) of those Remington Express plastic 10 ga/2-7/8" shells with 4-shot for $600. He only wanted a few boxes and he passed. Last I saw they were going for 30-40 bucks a box and that's what I told him. Of course they use the old Rem 57 primer and the hulls aren't compatible with 209's. Any recent updates on that retail box pricing?

Regarding 57 primers there is a trick I got from the reloading forum.Remove the 57 in the usual way then seat a FIRED 209, remove it and seat a new 209. Have done that with early 60's Remington plastic 16 ga. and it works well so 57 primed hulls are usable.
