Sorry, not a Parker (but I intend to remedy that shortly).

Less than 60-days to go now...

Wow, that is a beauty!

Thanks Todd, which one?

That Parker’s getting you there.

Mr. Romig: Different horses for different courses here.

The Lang, a converted pinfire, has no choke (made before chokes were invented), weighs 6 1/4 lbs and is very light and lively, making it excellent to carry for ruffies & the like. The later Parker is about a pound heavier (& with lots of choke) which means it should be more suited for prairie birds.

Both strike me as beautiful examples of engineering from another time.

This gun should be posted in the "General Discussions about Other Fine Doubles", not in the Parker Gun Hammer forum. it's not a Parker Hammer Gun.

Oh dear, it seems that I have violated a strict form of decorum here.

My apologies.

I can certainly appreciate most other game guns besides my favorite, the Parker.
Your Lang appears to be well worth admiration.

I love the classic lines!

Nice gun. I have a Watson 16, back action, like your Lang. Handles and shoots like a dream with low pressure RSTs.

Saw 3 grouse today where the full chokes on my Parker hammer would have been useful. I may assemble it and start carrying it on some trails here. Everything seems.to be at some distence this year.
