Many of us grew up shooting Model 12's. The family could afford them but not a Parker. I once bought a nice 20 ga. over the phone and had my Father pick it up. I was away at college and my Mother called to say my Father was upset over me buying the M 12, seems I jumped ahead of him with my phone call. The only time we ever got cross on a gun deal so I traded it to him for a L C Smith 20 that I couldn't hit the side of a barn with. I had to wait 35 years to inherit that M 12. I now have three but would still like to find a heavy duck gun but love my Parkers too.
