Based on my discussions with dealers at the Southern about strong sales and recent auction results the market for our beloved Parkers seems healthy and strong.

Buying for the shop as far as the auction house is concerned .

I hope no revenue agents for the State of Virginia frequent the PGCA website! They "might" have an issue with this.

Reggie, I can't help thinking what a fine 30-32" straight stocked small bore we could buy for the money paid for those big bore 40" beauties. :whistle:
