Bruce, Charlie, Tom, Dave, Todd, Dick, Russ, Randy, and Ed - Thank you guys so much for all you do to bring The Parker Gun to the forefront at the Pheasant Fest each year! Your hard work and dedication is appreciated by all and your display is probably the "Best of Show" every time!
Again, Thanks! .

By the way... will that Grade-4 .50 cal Damascus gun pattern them all inside a 30" circle at forty yards?

Don't know, I'll see. I'm having some 50 cal ammo shipped up from Mexico. They have a surplus down there.
The Parker order and stock books show a number of these guns. I think several have been sold at Julia's. Last edited by Bruce Day; 01-21-2016 at 11:13 AM.. Reason: i |

Thanks for working the booth Bruce to you and the others. I am curious how shooting a .50bmg through a parker would go.

I'll take and post pictures of the raffle gun. Or people can fondle it there. Its not like we set up a no westbound crossing border at the Mississippi. Dick is coming in from California and Todd and Tom from Houston because we are such a fun bunch and we have good barbeque here. Ed comes in from Galena Ill, the birthplace of that great American, U.S. Grant.
I suspect the stock head will hold. It has a lot of Elmers and roofing nails in it and has held for the last 20 years. If it doesn't , I have a little H&H that I can shoot. Some people like English guns. OOPS! Galena Ill, the residence, ( not birthplace of Gen. Grant) Thanks Fred. Ohio is where another great American , Gen. William T.Sherman , was born. President of Louisiana State University, Union general who shortened the war, and postwar General of the Army. |

General Grant was born in Point Pleasant, Ohio (down on the River).
