That distinctive 'Parker sound'
I'll start by saying that I'm still looking for my first Parker and the following seems a little....exaggerated.
I read an article today by U.S writer Thomas Tabor. In it he states that:
'One thing I have noticed that is markedly different about Parker shotguns is the sound they make each time the action is closed. It is impossible to describe that sound in words, but I will say that anyone standing within 100m (metres) will surely hear the sound it makes. Like the distinctive sound Harley-Davidson motorcycles have become known for, the sound made by a Parker shotgun being closed is every bit as recognisable and a sign of the quality and workmanship that these guns are appreciated for.'
Factual tidbit or just plain 'ole writers hyperbole?
