This old gun is at Jerry's now to be tightened up and cleaned up. The reason I use him is he has worked on some of my junk before and i've done some trading with him also. He is also a blast to talk to about old Bear Archery stuff. I know their are gentleman on this forum that does outstanding work also that I would love to send something to them one of these day. I'll most likely try to work up some bismuth black powder loads for waterfowl and buy some RST regular load to shoot and start saving the hulls to reload. As far as the hijacking goes I enjoyed the conversation. I when to the fall gun show here Saturday and saw three Parkers. One gentleman had a couple 12ga GH's One was in rough shape and he had the letter for the other. It appeared to be in good shape with 26" factory barrels. I didn't look them over real hard because he wanted 2,800 for the one he had the letter for and 2,000 for the rough one. The other gentleman had a 0 grade early 20,000 serial# 10ga lifter, the stock had a thick coat of shellac on it and the bores looked rough from chambers to muzzle. He only wanted 2500 for it.
