Stopped by Cabelas in Wheeling WV today, they have a 20ga. A1 with letter for $79,995.00. Better hurry might not last long...

I made a quick pass thru Sunday after sporting clays at Hunting Hills--we meet in the Cabelas parling lot. Was looking for lead shot , must have missed it.

Didn't we just see one of those A1-S 20 gauge guns sell at auction a year or so ago for about $250K ?

I wonder what's wrong with the one at Cabela's?

Harold, hanging on the wall to the left of the door into the gun library in a glass enclosed shadow box. There was also a "D" grade on the right hand side of the door, I think about 8K. They had 4 or 5 Parkers in there.

Dean, the finish on the butt stock was blemished on the side I could see.

Okay well.... I guess that's good for a deduction of about $175K

I feel certain that gun has been around for some time. Here's the GI link:

https://www.gunsinternational.com/gu...n_id=101038310

The Parker letter in the ad actually references 2 guns. Serial # 158188 which appears to be the # on the trigger tang and is in the book as an AA. Then it references Serial # 145198 which is a DH 20 and it appears to me this is the # on the water table but I cannot say for sure, poor pic. Maybe someone else can see that number more clearly. Why would the letter reference 2 guns ??

I haven't had a chance to go look at it but that gun has been there at least a few months ! We were suppose to head down to Cabelas this Saturday but the rest of the Family seems to have picked up severe colds I doubt if we will make the trip ,now I am just hoping not to get that ! I am not a buyer but with the gun being within 100 Miles of me I would like a chance to get a look at it !

I stopped in last night after my guitar lesson, and she is a real beauty.
I had a 10% off coupon with me--wonder if they would have honored it?
