My 2024 adoptees
 

A Fox A 12ga 30" F/F #1 weight barrels with great dims. A XE Fox circa 1917 12 ga Full pistol 30". A Parker BH 12ga 30" Semi-pistol grip circa 1898 Boston Sportsman Show Gun (newly discovered). A Parker 1917 DHE 12ga 30" Straight grip. How about you??

I truly admire especially the "sap grain" on the cheeks of the 1917 DHE indicating that is truly the original finish. The same can be observed on the cheeks of the 1917 XE Fox.

Bravo Craig!!

Outstanding additions! I see you trending to primarily 30” guns?

I had no intentions of buying anything this year and all intentions of liquidating . Liquidating has been going , however an NH 34” gun was for sale on this site so I picked it up and I’d say less than a month later Sir Chuckles offered me an EH 28”, that I didn’t know until after the deal was struck is a consecutive serial number to an EH 28” I already owned both guns left the factory the same day shipped to the same buyer both left as 28” cyl and full . And what I really didn’t have any idea of buying a DPMS AR-10 in 260 REM , I had a DPMS AR-10 lower with a 260 upper I’d had put together for me that I’d liked but sold . The rifle in question came up for a really reasonable price so it’s in the house now ! Pics are NH 10 34” then EH 10 28” and the rifle .

I'm selling off some high condition examples of Parkers/Foxes that I feel uncomfortable shooting because the dimensions are way off my sweet spot of 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 x14 x 30/32 and replacing them with nice examples that are easier for me to shoot. I shoot a fair amount of clays and enjoy shooting a different gun every time. I'm not crazy about long barreled small bores so that leaves the field open to you, Mark K and Randy LOL!

:rotf::rotf: I feel the field is a bit more crowded than Mark and I. :rotf::rotf:

I'm very happy I don't play in the big leagues with you guys.

Players are others for sure but I’d classify you two as HEAVY PLAYERS :rotf::rotf::rotf:

I recently adopted a magnificent 12 gauge Grade-2 Lifter with fantastic Parker-made Laminated Steel barrels. You guys judge for yourselves... I LOVE it!
I have yet to take deliveri on it because it went straight to Keavin Nelson to refresh the checkering.

Now coming from the gentleman that doesn't give a Parker a second glance unless it's been at the World's Fair that's downright funny :)
