I think there's a hint hidden in there somewhere.

I have Andrew Cuomo : (

Hey Andy, wait until you try hammer guns.
Hey Edgar, was she shooting one of those3 barrel guns, made right here in Wheeling, WV, by the Three Barrel Gun Co.

I keep hearing this recurring thing about hammer guns and it has me interested. I'll admit to some hesitation with damascus barrels and mostly that's because I don't know anyone to check them out and assure safety. In the meantime I'm very smitten by the 16g in "0" frame size. Hard to find 30" barrels, wonder if the 28" feel as nice. Like I said I live in the Land of the Lost when it comes to gun shops and shows and meets.

28's feel as nice as 30's. As too 16's I once purchased 4 16's from Ivory Beads in Vegas one year. Still miss seeing Jerry every January.

Over the years, I have given away many Parkers to people that deserved them but didn't necessarily have the funds to buy them. In addition, over the last two years, I have given away a PH steel barrel gun in nice original condition, a high condition 16 bore Trojan that was a favorite of mine for wild pheasants, and a benchmark true Parker DHE trap gun with all options.

I have given away four DHE's but the trap gun was the best. It is a true 98% original gun with the only wear on the trigger guard. I gave it to the son of my great friend (deceased) who owns the estate farm I hunt on in Pawling, NY. He shoots trap with me, when he can get away, and I thought he needed a real trap gun. He is very careful not to put his hands on the case colors and vows to keep the gun pristine.

The only thing I asked in return was to remember where they got the gun and not to sell it but to pass it on someday to someone who would appreciate it.

I don't want any of my remaining guns sold but have placed them in my will for people that would appreciate them and pass on the legacy.

I think all of mine are spoken for when I pass on, if not before then.

Last month I gave a #1 frame top action 12 gauge hammer gun with 30" stub twist barrels and a fish tale lever to a former student of mine who is in his early 30's now. I knew it was something he would not buy for himself.

He has already put a case of RST shells through it and we're working on putting together a Parker "hammer gun" hunt for the two if us. We have always had similar interests and now have one more thing to talk about.

Is there away to "gift" a PGCA membership? I would like do that for him...then he will really be hooked :)

Just contact Mary. She will help you with the gift.

Tom you're doing amazing things.
