Nothing in Parkers really rang my bell, but there were a few nice hammer guns for shooters. Come on down.

I was informed this week by two fellows that atteneded a SxS Clays shoot somewhere last weekend that a hammerless Parker 8 gauge they saw at the shoot would be in Baltimore this weekend for sale . I got this info because both these guys know I want one .

Unfortunately I will not be attending this year . Anyway as the saying goes .

"I was told it would be there" !

It was there. Add our former leader, Art Wheaton, to the attendance list, as well as my neighbors, George Blair and Jerry Smith.

GH, 36", a little on the brown side, way too high last time I heard.

We had some interesting sightings today, but I didn't get around the show to look at guns much. Mr. Tony paid us a visit.

Still don't know how to post pictures? You are one of the first to ask for pictures when other people do posts.

Yup, that's me. I am a student of our language, very little a scientist or engineer. If I ever learn how to install a computer or take a picture, it will be because my lovely wife is threatening to take up residence elsewhere unless I get myself situated in the twenty first century. Today was a bit more interesting with a high condition VHE28 gauge skeet surfacing and a great CHE 12 offered for sale. Of course, there are probably hundreds of C grades out there with geese on the floorplate, but I had never seen one. The best early back action lifter I have ever seen or heard of went home with the owner because I forgot to check back with him today about my offer. Or should I say "about adjusting my offer".
