David - I truly hope we get to meet someday!!

David , we put on an exhibit of Parker shotguns at the last NRA annual convention and show in Houston. You would have seen us. We had the Czar gun and a bunch of neat stuff.

Bruce, you had Parker No. 168304 ?

Colt
 

Bruce I moved from Houston 4 years ago after living there for 68 years. Way too much concrete. If I had known of the exhibit I would have driven back 3 hrs to see such an exhibit.

The odds have to be astronomical that a gun with your initials and full last name would end up in your hands. That looks like an Oklahoma quail buster.

I’m off to the plains in a few weeks then back around to the north woods, gone several weeks , then pheasant then OK quail.

I’ll take the Colt and a Parker hammer gun, both about 7 lbs, 28” 12ga upland game guns choked IC and Mod. New hammer screws are coming for the Parker.

Good Luck, Bruce. I hope the weather is good for your hunting and that there are birds for the dogs to find...and for you to shoot at with those nice guns.

I’ll be in Minn oct 1-12. You and I stay somewhat close locations. Maybe get together at Fish Tales or the Timberwolf by Marcell.

Elaine and I would certainly enjoy catching up with you in MN. We really enjoyed meeting Jeff Christie last year. Unfortunately, our two weeks begins on Sunday Oct. 13. If you get snowed in again this year, and you have to stay a bit longer, maybe we can catch up with you. Reports indicate similar numbers of birds to last year, so please leave us a few.
