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).

AH, BH or CH 20 with 30 or 32" barrels, prefer straight stock, original condition only. (I know where one of these are if it ever comes to market)
DH 30" 28 gauge, original condition only. (I have only seen one of these for sale in the last 10 years)
Any grade 32" 28 gauge, original condition preferred. (never saw one period)
Fox CH 20 30", prefer straight stock, original condition only.
Fox HE 20, original condition only. (never seen one for sale)

I am not looking for anything other than those listed. I promise.
