Gentlemen, I have three 8ga. Parkers, three 4ga. various British, and one 3ga. gun. The "trick" in using these guns to upland hunt with is to use a "porter". Just like they do in Africa.

Austin once told me that he had evidence that Parker Bros offered a porter as an option with the sale of their 8ga. guns. This option was never listed in any catalog. So far I have been unable to find an original Parker Porter. I have had to stoop to using a repro. Repro's are commonly disguised as grandsons.-----Daryl
