AAHE 20 ga 32" barrels
 
Gunslingers Auction in California has a AAHE 20 ga with 32" barrels. This may be a chance to get a great one for a good buy. Not a lot of advertising on this one, but it is on one of the auction sites. I am pretty well ouit of the business but thought I would pass it on! He has it 25,000.00 to 45,000.00 I think there is a good chance this would be a great buy. I haven't seen the gun but he is good at descriptions!

Might help them if they had pictures in the auction .

is this what appears t be a crack anything to be concerned about?

Dean Romig 01-15-2020 06:11 PM

I’d have that stop-drilled, welded up, smoothed over, shoot it a lot and never worry about it again.

Craig Larter 01-15-2020 06:26 PM

Thanks Dean that's what I thought but I appreciate your input. Not a gun I am interested in but thanks for the input. Interesting gun, appears the barrels have been re-blued, pad installed (maybe but not in the records??) NO safety is a killer for most. Appears to have a trap style comb???

Reggie Bishop 01-15-2020 06:28 PM

That gun won’t letter either. I wish those records were available.

Dean Romig 01-15-2020 07:08 PM

Reggie, what is the serial number range?

Jim DiSpagno 01-15-2020 07:13 PM

Not a crack. That is the seam between the roll joint and the frame.
Look at any of your other parkers and you will see that seam. Some are less visible than others.

Craig Larter 01-15-2020 07:27 PM

Yep Brian your correct!! Thanks Craig

Dean Romig 01-15-2020 07:41 PM

So all we know is that there were only 6 AAH twenty gauge guns made with 32" barrels.

That definitely has the trap comb on a beautiful piece of wood and it looks like recut checkering correctly done. It wouldn't surprise me to learn the work had been done at Pachmayer.

I can just hear the wheels turning. If only I sold this, this and this, took a withdrawal from my 401K, I could totally buy that gun. LOL. I’m with you, but won’t be bidding.

Dean Romig 01-16-2020 07:54 AM

Pull some cash out of one of your life insurance policies, especially if nobody holds a mortgage on your home.

Stan Hillis 01-16-2020 08:26 AM

Or, alternatively, you could knock over a bank. Acquiring nice 32" small bore Parkers sometimes calls for desperate measures. Trust me.

:whistle:

Thats the last way I'd finance a gun. If you take it that way your subject to a loan rate of around 8% and it snowballs every year if at least the interest isn't paid. At the very least the tax free death benefit for your family is reduced by the amount of the loan or the cash withdrawal. This could also effect your premium payments. Your much better off doing a home equity loan and in most cases that interest is tax deductible.
Another option is the 0% offer credit cards will give good customers. For a small fee of 4% or so I can take a cash advance interest free for up to 18 months in some cases. I did this to help with a BHE straight grip 32 inch 20 a couple of years ago and on the recent AHE 20.

Dean Romig 01-16-2020 09:02 AM

In my case.... no mortgage, multiple life ins policies, easy decision.... I cashed out of one policy completely.

Joe Graziano 01-16-2020 09:05 AM

I really, really love side by sides, but I can’t imagine explaining a home equity loan to my wife to buy a shotgun. Go get it, gents! Someone will wind up with that amazing gun.

Bill Murphy 01-16-2020 10:53 AM

Tom Sellick promotes home equity loans. We could call him for advice, except he may be the guy who outbids you. I guess I wouldn't trust his advice.

John Dallas 01-16-2020 02:01 PM

Selleck is a Colt 1911 collector

Rich Anderson 01-16-2020 02:43 PM

Selleck promotes reverse mortgages not the same as an equity loan.

While it is in the 4000+ gun gap in the records (and I think a lot of us know who 'might' have that book), I don't see a thing to suggest it isn't real.

Agreed Edgar!

Jeff Kuss 01-16-2020 06:12 PM

I would guess it to be another California Duck gun.

Dave Noreen 01-16-2020 06:35 PM

Back in the early 1970s I got a signature loan from North Island FCU to buy my Model 12 28-gauge Skeet Gun. In those days all my worldly possessions fit in my 1970 El Camino.

Stan Hillis 01-16-2020 08:18 PM

Seriously guys, that's what SSI is for, isn't it? Builds up pretty quickly if you designate it for your gun use and leave it alone for awhile.

Selleck also like s Winchester levers. Brian Board did some work for him a couple years ago..and he had Brian deliver them to Calif. and meet with him and his brother...

Reggie Bishop 02-01-2020 05:54 PM

55,000.00 + 20%= 66,000

Jim Thynne 02-01-2020 06:02 PM

I hope this went to a good home, I didn't see it but it was "i am certain" 100% correct! Someone got a great deal!

Craig Larter 02-01-2020 08:14 PM

$55K plus the buyers premium. Rare and a highly sought after configuration 20ga and 32" barrels.

Jim Thynne 02-01-2020 09:11 PM

Woulda shoulda coulda what a beautiful AAHE

Gary Carmichael Sr 02-02-2020 01:12 PM

A few years ago that gun would have brought close to a hundred grand, This soft market is a good time to buy will prices ever rebound? only time will tell, meantime grab on to some good buys, Gary

I think the soft market is here to stay, us old coots are dyin off.

John Dallas 02-02-2020 03:40 PM

Gary, I'm afraid you're whistling past the graveyard

Bill Murphy 02-02-2020 04:06 PM

Some of our posters, supposedly educated in Parker records, don't understand that provenance isn't available on this gun, even if missing records were recovered. Order books ended at about serial number 185,000 range. Don't blame missing or stolen books on the missing records on this gun. We will never know the provenance of this gun unless someone in its previous life comes forward.

I very much disagree, The gun sold for exactly what it was worth +- 20% vig and I think the buyer and seller are probably happy with the results. If you have real sale results to compare for grade 7 20ga guns with 32" barrels for the past 5-100 years selling for 100k please post them. I would really like to see the facts that call this gun 100k gun.

Reggie Bishop 02-03-2020 05:46 AM

I think considering the condition of the gun it brought a fair price. No case colors, white line pad, issues with the stock finish and probably re-blued barrels all were considerable deductions on my tally sheet.

I do know of one that sold privately in that price range “close to a hundred grand”, “+- 20%” about 8 or 9 years ago. I must admit that I don’t understand what you mean by “vig” though.
It was all original and in high condition but I don’t remember if it had 30” barrels or 32”.

Unfortunately I’m not at liberty to divulge names or serial number of the gun.. so it’s just another case of “somebody told me blah, blah, blah...
