What's going on with the "SAFE" engraving?

Mike Koneski 01-07-2024 04:35 PM

That’s a funky fresh use of Vulcan characters to spell out the boring old “SAFE”. I like it. Then again I’ll take a V grade shooter over a fancy high grade closet queen any day.

Bit of a crack behind the top tang, but nothing to worry about

Kind of hidden in the description are the 32” barrels, F&F chokes, Ejectors and good stock dimensions. Just what many are looking for. Me? I already own several 32”/12g Parkers. :)

Same here Frank. I picked up two 32” 12gauge Parkers in 2023. Now if I could find a 30” or 32” 20g at a price like that…. :whistle:

Mike,
Is that your artistic scratching above the safety selector?? What kinda commission are these guys collecting from the seller:corn:

I had four 32” 12’s and let two of them go in 2023 . The vent rib trap will hang around and the other is a VH 2 barrel set 28 and 32 that hopefully will get across the Pacific to the Philippines for my use over there .

The script is in ancient Balanese text, which literally translated into English reads, "Not so fast, 'American Joe' - this gun is equipped with release triggers."

My guess would be that at some point the safety was disconnected & someone used a center punch to in an attempt of letting the user know that the gun wasn't on safe when the button was in the normal safe position.

I wonder if it's still disconnected and LSB didn't pick that up in their mechanical inspection.

I've consigned guns with LSB and their commission fee is negotiable depending on the value of the gun or the amount of guns you're consigning with them at that time.
