40 bucks!, there; Now I feel better!
Now I am a PGCA Member. Just used the PayPal feature so as to not to be considered one of them Lurkers. Thought I had Crotch Crickets once, turned out to be chiggers, but a lurker, not on my watch! (Second time I thought I had the Crickets...never mind) All kidding aside, probably about time. Several of my "bestest" friends are Parker guys, and I have gained quite a bit of knowledge about vintage shotguns over the last several years from posts on this forum. Hate to think I've been stealin!
I remember the exchange over on the Elsie site that may have given brother Mark the impression he currently has, but I'll respectfully disagree with his take. Those folks are just as accommodating as you (us) guys over here, and I'll say that just because one doesn't get the answer that they are looking for, doesn't make the folks unfriendly!
That aside as well, if I ever decide to step outside the box in terms of acquiring one of the two best American made shotguns shotguns in the history of Earth, I'll be checking in with you guys to make sure I'm not crapping in my own sock!
Looking forward to my first Parker Pages, and I have to agree with the poster who indicated that the Edit/Delete function on the forum should get a Double Tap to the face (Rock-n-roll VB Seal Team Six, believe it or not, Seal Team members frequently show up and shoot 5-stand at our local venue). Stinks to check into a multiple reply post on the forum only to find that the original post, that incited multiple responses, has been deleted. Just plain bad manners in this guys book.
My passion is LC Smith shotguns. Have a reasonable quiver of same in spite of a hideous bridge building market in my area over the last few years. Don't anticipate for one second that my joining this fine organization will gain me even one new friend, as alot of the guys I shoot with are Parker guys and were my friends before I joined. Just feel like I'm payin' up for some of the info and insight I've gained on your dime over the last few years. Thanks for the opportunity.
John
