You can't go wrong with Dan for the SST work.

Def sounds like something needs to be adjusted in the mechanism that trips over to the other barrel. it is likely a minor fix.

Thank you Brian. Here's my thing: I want to hunt with this gun. I'm not a collector, I'm not an historian, I'm not into investing in guns. While I can afford much better guns, I choose not to spend money on things I'm afraid to use. My goal when I set out was to find a fine handling 28g SxS for about $3,500 that I'm not afraid to get some field scars on. A "bright sunny day" grouse and woodcock gun that, when time to sell, I haven't lost all my money on. So while I'm above that figure of $3,500, I'm flexible and could tolerate a fix, if it's a true fix. I never realized this Parker repro would feel so damn good (first would be an English best...of course...) Dan was very kind and spent time with me on the phone, a true gentleman for sure. Never met him but will always support him from now on.

This all being said, I have a new found interest in Parker shotguns and am reading all I can. Quite an amazing brand. When I was a kid I always dreamed of a "Parker Brothers Shotgun" and forgot about that dream until I handled this repro. Problem I've had with vintage guns is the fit, but if you saw me shoot, it's certainly not the gun : )

Andy, bring that Parker with you next time you visit "The Rock". I'd like to see your new find.

Mike, was that you yesterday who signed me up for the season pass? I would have said hello and introduced myself! Weather pending hope to see you soon.

Yessiree, that was me.

Well next time it's a mighty hand shake : )

As they said in Blazing Saddles, "We welcome you with this laurel and hardy handshake..". :rotf:
