I had been watching this one for couple of years, and yep a dealer continued to list long after it was consigned. I handled the gun and again went over it with Malm. I even sold a gun to try and make an honest run at it and came up short. Just as well I suppose, I have backups for the backups and the pups won't notice the grade. This one held my attention for sometime. Just add another Parker to the list that haunts me, much like a certain 16 Grade 6 16ga, least I know that one has a good home.

Brett, being haunted by guns not purchased is not pleasant for sure, but I know where you could carry and shoot one if you ever decide to head west.

That 26” AHE will be on my mind for some time.

Buying is easy selling can be difficult. I tire of the tire kickers and nit pickers. I have some I'd sell but the hassle keeps them here. I don't need to sell them but they just don't get used as they should and thats a shame. To many guns both rifle and shotgun and not enough time.
