Hello from Colorado
Hi, Members,
My name is Daniel (Dan) Nix. One of my earliest memories involved a Parker Trojan 12 gauge when I was about 14 years old. A friend/mentor owned the Trojan and would occasionally bring it with us when we went afield. On this occasion, he allowed me to carry the Trojan while walking across an open field. As we walked, two sparrows flew overhead. My friend quickly told me to shoot the sparrows. I raised the Trojan, fired instinctively and, as the two shots rang out, both birds dropped. Nobody was more impressed than I was. That was about 1960 and I'm still impressed.
I now own two Winchester/Parker reproductions in 20 and 28 gauge and I've downed pheasants with both of them. I recently purchased a 10 gauge Parker lifter model that was made in 1882. I've fired it with RST ammunition and have yet to miss a clay pigeon with it. In a couple of weeks, I'll use it to hunt pheasants. The serial number is 24758. I will sent photographs soon. Thank you.
