Bill, check your PM

Thanks for the update on the 34" AAHE 16 at the yard sale. However, I'm not that much into straight grip guns. I replied to your PM.

:rolleyes:

AAHE? 16 guage 34"? At a yard sale? Good Lord! I'd love to hear the details on that one.

Hey guys ... How about letting the rest of us in on the story ?

Sure wish we had a "smile" reeling in a big fish!

Harry, did you pick up that nice 16ga lifter that went cheap at that farm auction the other day?

One of these days we should have a "Tales of Buying Parkers" section in the Parker Pages. The hard part would be getting contributors to stick to the truth. After fifty years of buying Parkers, I can tell the truth and still attract an audience. Part of "telling the truth" is swearing that you have never screwed anyone on a Parker purchase. I think I can still make that claim. However, I have been on the receiving end of the screwing a few times.

Bruce,

No one was interested. They had never heard of Bernard Steel so I picked it up for $100.00.

Harry

Ditto here Bill

HOLD ON ! ... Let me get my waders on ... The Bull S@&% is getting a little deep !

There was a 16 lifter gun for sale but the woman never got back to me so I assume it has been sold ... The story of my life ... A Day Late And A Dollar Short !

Jim, I know that young lady and her male companion. You aren't going to miss any bargains if she continues to ignore your advances. She has quite a bit of Parker knowledge at her fingertips.

Bill,

I've never screwed anybody on a Parker buy, I have been screwed on a purchase however. I'm still trying to get that tomato stake figured out.....

Bill,

I think you heard me wrong. It was a ball grip and found at a flea market. You got everyone excited about the "straight" grip for nothing!

It's my understanding that the screwee finds some discomfort in the first or second encounters, but then derives a modicum of satisfaction and ultimately takes control.

Jim: I think that they got the gauge wrong. That lifter with the ball grip was an oddball 14 bore & not a regular 16, so you didn't miss much.

Just My Humble Opinion.....George

I saw the gun, offered to purchase it, but the lady had first dibs because she or her friend had once owned it. It is unfortunate that she bought it to resell, not to keep.
