Parker CHE goes duck hunting
 

Took the CHE duck hunting yesterday. It was slow day on our marsh yesterday but bagged a Black and hen Pintail. The widgeon and pintail are moving out and the big push of Mallards and Blacks is yet to arrive. Anyhow, the CHE is a 1905 gun. Shooting handloaded #5 bismuth 1 1/8oz.

beautiful gun Craig

and nice string of bands on a nice lanyard.

Love those Bernard tubes!!

What a great picture, it would make a great 2014 PGCA calendar.

She's doing what Parker intended, congrats on getting a fine gun in the field which is where they belong.

I second C.O.B.
I admire a man who takes such a fine gun into the duck blind.
Hell they're all field guns aren't they.

It is a fine old gun and it gives me great pleasure to use. It is one of those great old guns that has had an "experienced" life but well taken care of. I love the closet queens as much as any collector but the well used and not abused are fun to collect.

great looking gun you got there..looks like it kills ducks pretty good too...the c grade s are sure pretty....charlie

Nice

I haven't been out that much this season, just don't have the burn I used to, but I still enjoy it when I do go.

What is your bismuth load? I am using the 1 1/8 Bism 5 load published in the Precision Bismuth loading booklet for the Win-West AA case. I have cut back to 1 1/16th load (465 grains). I haven't lost a bird yet with it. Seems to work okay.
