.410 Parkers in Ronald Gabriel's Book
I recently picked up Ronald Gabriel's book, American and British .410 Shotguns. I'd not really been interested in the .410 beyond using one on squirrels as a kid, but the good Mr. Hillis' accounts of his dove hunting (and the encouragement of Steve Parker) resulted in my getting a nice, old H&H hammer gun with a set of .410 barrels.
Now I'm intrigued by Parker .410s. Gabriel's book has some interesting documented information on Parker .410s, including many upgrades.
Anyone familiar with this book and have any observations about it? Just curious...
