Exploring new frontiers in Parker collecting.
I have had a couple (ok maybe more than a couple LOL) phases in my gun collecting life. Starting with my pursuit of 12ga duck guns mostly 2 frame 30" inch full choked examples, higher grades, DH,CH and BH. Then I got into 10ga three frame and larger examples with long 32" and 34" barrels. Then during Covid I focused on 8ga Parkers. Leaning to reload 8ga and shooting the cannons was my Covid therapy. This past two years I have set my focus on the smaller bores 16ga and 20ga. I have learned to reload 2 1/2" shells in both gauges which is satisfying. In the 16 and 20 I have tended toward GH and DH examples that are useful for western pheasant and sharptail/praire chicken hunting.
How about you? Have you explored any new frontiers in our hobby?
