Default What Will You Buy?

AT THE MOMENT: 12 gauge, 30" barrels, beaver tail, vent rib, double triggers, (pistol, straight, POW, Montecarlo) stock.

It changes pretty regularly.

I am sort of focusing on late Meriden and Remington Parkers at the moment, although I get sidetracked

Right now I'm on a long legged, high condition, and rarity spree. All three of them do not have to be rolled into one firearm. I have purchased a few high condition guns of light that actually had 28 inch barrels, yes I know that is outside of my normal MO. These guns were purchased strictly for collecting purposes and I thought I got a decent deal on them. I am also on a quest for some nice hammer guns. I would like to get a 16 with at least 30 inch barrels in any grade and any 12 gauge with 32" or longer barrels that has dimensions I can shoot that has condition. I have noted that I appear to be getting a little finicky.

Yes, dimensions must be right.

I will easily fall for a small-bore, high grade, high condition, composite barreled, hammer gun, either Lifter or T/A… yeah, yeah… I’d fall for something like that.

VHE 28 , 30 or 32 inch . 32” 16 gauge hammer and hammerless . 32” hammerless 20 gauge . I’ve got 32” 10’s snd 12’s I’m okay with . If I could add 32” for both 16’s the 20 and 28 that would be the pooh so to speak (or atleast at this point in time I think it would).

Craig, the 32" 28 and the 32" 16 hammer gun will require some check writing. I think I will bail out of my search for those two.

Not that I need any more Parkers but I would seriously consider a BH, GH and PH in 20ga with damascus barrels in mostly original condition with dimensions that work for me, uncommon guns but attainable except maybe the BH.

A graded Philly Fox 20 ga. with 28" barrels, the right chokes, and the right dimensions.

A 12 ga. BE Philly Fox with 32" barrels, original chokes, and uncut wood, in higher condition than the one I have.

An American made .410 S X S with 30" barrels, in good+ original condition (that I can afford).
