Default 149 Year Celebration

It appears the 2024 Dove season will be a good one. The old Parker lifter can still get it done!

Have fun with that nice gun, Wayne. I hope to add a lifter to my arsenal someday.

WOW now that's very cool, looks like a beautiful B grade. I always get jealous when early teal opens. We have good number right now in NY, but no season

Thanks Craig! The gun though is a grade 6 according to the 6 stamped on the barrel flats and the 6 stamped in the wood under the trigger guard.

Really nice Wayne! I may have asked before, but where were you hunting? Seems like it was SE AZ? I'm from Tempe, but I'm shooting near Coolidge / Casa Grande area. I saw Stan's post, and after seeing your's I'm kinda wanting to take a couple of my lifters out for some vintage shooting! Nice job on your harvest!

Thanks Chris. We were hunting NW of Phoenix. Hunting with Parker hammer guns makes the hunt just that more enjoyable. Using a Parker lifter shooting brass shells for taking game is the pinnacle of a memorable hunt in my opinion. I really love those lifters!

Wayne, it's been a while for me. I know now that Saturday will be a lifter day for me as well! Hopefully the birds are flying in numbers and I'll have some pictures to prove it! Happy shooting!
