One of my favorite topics. A Parker that I can envision enriching October is one of my greatest weaknesses! As Rich has mentioned many times before “ the next one is the best one”, isn’t lost on me. I can do some serious mental gymnastics and become very creative with financial determinations if a Parker starts talking grouse to me. Should it be close to fitting me, I am toast! If I did not already have at least 3 go to Parker Bros and Parker backups for each it would be a serious void and necessary emergency steps would be required!
I know I have a problem, but this grouse gun topic is a daily concern and makes me think of one’s I have walked away from or couldn’t buy still haunt me. The AH 16 that gave me night sweats, it has a very good home with someone that appreciates it. “Rita” a no excuses Sexy D with kickers. She is well owned and cared for also. The 00 frame 28ga that after a lengthy dissertation on the vast differences between the 00 frame and 0 frame with the Chairman dead ended with her questioning how many Parker 28 ga guns do you have? Not as many as Dean wasn’t the correct response. I hunt grouse alone so I really do need that 16 hammer gun!
I think this year will be dominated by 20ga. guns. 2 will go for sure and a 28ga has to go also just because. The 16ga guns will just have to wait their turn come November and ditch parrots.
