He said it to my face. "Daddy, you got a new gun for me" Right, except for the last two words

Neat gun with a pretty low ser. no. Are those laminated steel barrels.

They are Damascus barrels.

I just received a DH 10ga. w/ beautiful 32" Damascus bbls, PG, SF from a fellow PGCA member and a GH 12ga. W/ 30" Damascus bbls, PG, SF in original condition.

VHE 28 gauge. X2.

Two VHE twenty-eights? WOW - Nice!

VH 28 Ga. ,26" Barrels,Capped Pistol Grip ,DHBP :)

Grade 3 ten gauge top lever hammer, 32" Damascus, skeleton butt. From Harry Collins by way of the late George Blair.

We need pictures Bill...

Grade 1 12ga lifter, #2 frame, 30" IC/M twist barrels, tight action, great bores, no real damage just well used.

i just got a early lifter 10 ga with plain steel barrels serial no 4794...its in good shape its a plain jane but a shooter for sure i put a box of shells thru it a moment ago..i like these old lifters...charlie

mine latest is a 32 in. 12 ga. GHE. F/F, makes a nice trap gun :)

Scott, you are out of control:shock:

Grade 1 16ga #1 frame hammer gun with 32 inch barrels....I think that was my last one it's been so long.....BUT the big brown truck is bringing another grade 1 hammer gun, this will be a #2 frame 12 w/ laminated barrels of 30 inches

Boy, you guys are making me jealous.

Mills you have achieved your dream of the 8 gauge and a goal once achieved no longer motivates. You just need to focus on a new goal say for example a nice small bore:)

Actually, the immediate goal is to get reloading set up, get wall thickness/choke gauges and get a duck boat. A Parker 28 gauge is on the list, though it may have to wait a little while

I don't know about the "goal" business, Rich. I have never had a shopping list, but somehow have four rooms in my house pretty much dedicated to guns and shooting.

There are "goals" and then there are the ones that come up unexpectedly and just have to be bought. Most of mine are from the second category

This is a true reflection of my situation. The last "had to be bought" for me is a DHE once owned by Sir Frederick William Borden, an important Canadian figure. The rib is factory engraved Sir Frederick Borden and supported by research letter. I have been trying to glean information on full provenance and that will take some time. I hope to write this one up for Parker Pages one day. Cheers, Jack

ain t one thing better than 4 rooms of gun related stuff and that is 5 rooms of stuff..i d almost bet that fellow has started on that 5th room... i hope he gets to fill it up soon.... charlie

I have finally got myself one room and it isn't all that large but it qualifies as a gun room. At the moment it is full of non-gun stuff as I am in the process of moving between residences. Guns are still in the steel tombs but they will soon enough see the light of day to be admired rather than hidden. Cheers, Jack

I've stopped focusing on "goals" and now seek out "opportunities", which oddly, often present themselves as "missed opportunities"... :crying:

The opportunities are missed because you have no goals:rotf::rotf:

My big goal is to spend the month of October chasing Grouse with Daisy at my place in the Upper Peninsula. October seems a long ways off but it will be here shortly.

I have decided to keep the Grade 2 lifter circa 1880 so that's my last Parker....until tomorrow when it will be a grade 1 TL hammer gun with beautiful laminated barrels. I'm being hammered by hammer guns:rotf::rotf:

now you just need a hammer 10 and 8 to go with those small bores...charlie

What I really need is a 20ga hammer gun.
