I stopped into my old Cabela's Store this morning; and there, looking very tired, worn and used was a Parker VH 20 Ga 28" Double Trigger gun.
Serial number is 131419, O frame, and, no, it's not in the serial no. book.
It has more things wrong than I can count, including a bit off face, steel barrels are a tad bit rough inside, (not bad, but need polished) the screws are a total wreck, the stock has chunks out of it at the receiver, the butt has been replaced with an ill fitting recoil pad.
The barrels are uncut. But.......but, she's a 20 gauge Parker: $800.00.
So, what kind of FOOL would lay away such a gun?
Yep.
I will be looking for Batchelder and/or a shrink as soon as it is in hand.
On my deathbed, I hope God says "Well, You DID rescue some old Parkers, and that's a plus."
