Congratulations, Adam, but please leave some woodcock and ducks for those of us south of you.

I just acquired a Parker VH 20 bore "0" frame with 26" barrels. The gun is a shooter quality. I had the gun shipped directly to Chris Dawe at Stillwater Restorations to check it over. It got a clean bill of health.
Now I will bring it back to Toronto and shoot it this season on woodcock and grouse and decide whether or not to move forward with a full restoration and or restock!
I am pretty happy.
I know lots of people think those 0 frame Parkers are the ultimate American walkabout grouse and woodcock gun. I have a few other makes that I like. cant wait to get hands on it.
