Though I don't post often some of you know me and a lot more of you know my good friend and hunting partner Rich Flanders. Both of us our Alaskan's as is the seller of these guns.
Though he does not list his full name I am confident I know the seller and have known him for over 35 years. I know the gun shop and the owner of the gun shop where he bought quite a selection of Parker reproductions. The owner said he let him inspect them as they came in and select the wood he wanted.
I acquired a 28 gauge Parker reproduction form him just a few years ago. He had guns still in the boxes and wrapped as they came. Totally untouched. He had a few that he took on a trip out of Alaska and hunted, sometimes only once. I believe I was told he once had in excess of 20 of these guns. He is a successful retired individual. If he got barrel length wrong I expect it was inadvertent.
He has some unusual guns and he bought them I believe as investments though of course he shot a few of them. In any event over time we all must pick a time to sell. He has mentioned to me a time or two over the last few years that he really should market some of these so his wife won't have to deal with it if someday. I think that is all he is trying to do.
He has had some nice things. I believe this may be an unusual opportunity and that he is well be worth a call. I just thought some of you would like to know that.
