Sending payment today. I'll hopefully have my new parker in hand by next week. Thank you guys for all of your input and help in my decision making process. This gun is a beauty, and i'm very excited to give it a new home. I'll post more pics after i've had the oppotunity to ogle it for a day or two.

The wait for a new Parker to arrive is just like when you were 6 yrs old waiting for Santa to come:)

No its worst. You are dealing with UPS. They might loose it or break it.

Ouch, that hurt just to read! :crying:

We all hope the UPS apes will be jentle with your parker and that the theives will leave it alone. I have not had one stolen yet but I have had two broken in half.

Broken in half? Surely they weren't shipped assembled? The only way to ship a shotgun is broken down.

USPS is my preferred shipper. But the gunsmiths and gun dealers don't always do it my way.

Best,

Mike

One seller shipped a 10 gauge hammer gun to me without breaking it down. It made it all right though

Both guns were shipped to me. One was A double and it was broken down and the other was a muzzle loading cape gun and the barrels were seperated from the stock. Both were proke in two at the wrist. These people know better than to ship an assembled gun as do I.

i too had a gun broke in too at the wrist in shipping..it was a d grade 10 ga and it was shipped broke down..i learned one thing from this have plenty of insurance on a shipped gun i had none... charlie

I had the airline saw a fishing rod case (and the fishing rods) in two.
