20ga Gun Display for the PGCA's 20th Anniversary!
 
If you weren't able to attend the 2013 PGCA Annual Meeting and Banquet in Rhode Island this year, you missed out on an exceptional display of 20 gauge guns. The members in attendance were able to vote on their favorite, and now you can too! Here are photos of all 9 guns. Sorry I don't have details on all of the guns, maybe someone else can help to fill in the gaps. Enjoy!

Gun #1 - 20ga Parker A1 Special
