Guns that speak

[charlie cleveland]

the first parker i ever saw spoke to me it was a p grade 10 ga 32 inch stub twist barrels...then a 7 frame lifter 8 gauge spoke to me on the gunbroker site many years ago her barrels had been cut to 26 1/4 inches her stock had some kind of carveing on it that i never figured out what it was but it was ok too....then a fellow in california posted a 8 ga hammer gun a lever gun he posted a picture i made an offer and she now resides in miss..next one to speak to me was a gun that mills bought at the silent auction a few years ago...she was a 8 ga hammer lever gun in the sadest state of disrepair i have ever seen a gun in....she was off face by 1/2 inch barrels cut to 27 1/4 inches stock had been repaired 5 differant ways and times...it had a high rise rib put on it 1/2 by 1/2 square steel rod....barrels and stock had at least 2 lbs of silver soiler on it.....mills let me have this gun...darlington gun works in georgia told mills it could not be fixed but shes shooting again today...shes really ugly but she speaks to me...it turned out this gun was the sister to the 8 ga i had bought in california....charlie
