Default Early Christmas Present

Something interesting followed me home yesterday.
A 34" 16 gauge with vulcan steel barrels.
Cant wait to get her out and pattern her and test her out on some FITASC targets.

Happy Holidays,
John

Default 16 Gauge Huh?

Sounds Great John,
Lizard, Myself, and our favorite HVAC guy are playin' hookey on Wednesday and visiting the Forge for some new horse shoes, be a great opportunity to try out your Christmas Present. As luck would have it, Lizard will also be shooting a 16 gauge that might bring back some memories!

John, it probably failed because the picture is to big. Go to the www.parkerguns.org and then the FAQ page link found on the lower left of list on the left of out home page. At the bottom of the FAQ page, there are two tutorials and one is how to re-size a picture and the other is how to make a forum entry with a picture attached. Look at the re-size one and I hope it answers your questions.

They take a minute to load so give it time, they are big and depending on your connection speed it can take a few minutes.
