Don't get me wrong. I made an offer but like most of their guns it's on consignment and they couldn't reach the decision maker. Based on our conversation, I expect to own it soon and will be shooting sporting clays with it Friday.
BTW, they have several Parkers coming in from an estate that are being looked over and catalouged. I'm pretty sure I saw about 4-5 A grade guns on a table behind the counter and two 32" barrled guns, (at least one was a V grade maybe both) a 16 and 20 I think.
