Research letter on 36"Parker V Grade

[Dakota Jeff]

I'm sure Dave collected all the info on this gun that was available to him,and I thank him for that.I am going to make a couple phone calls tomorrow and see if I can trace this gun back hopefully to some relative of the original owner.Im thinking it was lastly set up for shooting trap,as per the stock configuration.And then with the long chambers it probably digested some 3 inch magnums and the original stock cracked and the current one was installed,which has also been pinned.Yep this gun is a mess,but I can't wait to take it hunting again this fall.I got 4 ducks with it the only time I took it out.I used 1 1/4 oz of #5 bismuth that I reloaded for it.A couple of those ducks were pretty high,but they folded like you hit them with a bat.I need to pattern test it some day.
