Canada`s
 

The season over here is well on the way and the wildfowl numbers are starting to build up, with geese and ducks migrating in.

Anyway to get to my point, I was out on Friday last and managed to bag two Canada`s with my old Parker 10 - big deal, eh!
This is the first time I have shot any game with this gun in three years. I have had a few shots on the clays but that is about it, and furthermore I was using some home loads! (2 7/8 )
I have also made and fitted a new stock to this gun as the original one was too small and the drop at the comb was too much.
Of course I have kept the original!

congratulations on the birds.

any pictures of the gun with its new wood??

There are no pictures but I will have ago at taking some.
What I omitted to say about this gun is that it has been in storage in a gunsmiths over here for sometime, and when I got hold of it, I didn't know what I had hold of until checkng it out on an internet search. It weighs a ton when you are out on the estuary waiting for evening flight!
Hopefully it will get some use this season and bag me some good geese and ducks

That's a nice old PH. I especially like the barrels.

That is a nice ol NH. Bet it is very happy to get out of jail and go hunting. I got a 3 frame 10 I'm going to carry phesant hunting some bet that will make ones elbow hurt. best ch Oh gotta love thoes fishtails:)

I think it looks great, I don't see where it needs anything except having the screws cleaned up.

Nice! Glad to see another Parker shooter from across the water. I've had some great days over your way with a Parker gun in years past.
