Why is a 12 ga Parker a "boat anchor" these days?

But in reality, they have just not been around long enough, to build that bond... That's ok, that's how things work. I wouldn't expect to be taken in like a brother 2 weeeks after signing up, that takes time, and getting to know people. No sense in worrying about it.

Joseph, everybody is welcome here. Our goal is to keep everything as friendly as possible and always in a civil manner.

You pretty much nailed it - that a lot of us have met at shoots and auctions and PGCA Annual Meetings and the friendships just grow and grow from there. I was a newcomer once and even though I didn't know a lot about Parkers, or any guns for that matter, I was welcomed by the long-time members and it has been a wonderful learning experience.

Like I said, everybody is welcome here. We all share a common interest and that's what bonds us in friendship. You'll strike up a lot of friendships here if you stick around... and Please Do! You are welcome here!
