Your all time favorites

My Dad's M31 Remington pump, a M42 with Factory Vent Rib - Unfired when I bought it 10 years ago. (I've remedied that), and for a pistol, a very clean Hi Standard Olympic .22 Short. Rifles - Nothing I can't live without

Not counting family guns, or one given to me by family, I would have a hard time parting with a German SS stalking rifle in 9.3x72; an I frame .22 S&W, 2 pre-war Model 70s, one in .22 hornet, the other in 7mm Mauser; a GHE 20, and lastly, the one COB never should have sold me, a Gr2, 0 frame 26" 16ga.TL.

I love them all and wouldn't want to part with any of them, but these would be the essentials:

Parker CH 12 gauge, 30 inch IM/F and 28 inch IC/Mod.

Parker BHE 20 gauge, 26 inch Mod/Mod.

Ithaca NID 16 gauge, 26 inch Skt In/Skt Out. (This one just recently made the list)

Edgar every once in a while on gets away that shouldn't have but thats life. Tell me about the M70 (see if we had a rifle forum we would be using it) 7MM Mauser. I had a Super Grade in 7MM but it was to nice to take to the deer woods so I sold that and a NIB FWT 358 for a 90% DHE 20 with all the options. I kinda miss the Super Grade. I bought a Pre 64 M70 7MM carbine last summer to make up for it.

Rich, if you ask for the rifle subforum, you will get what you ask for. However, you will not get what you thought you would get. I would dominate the subforum with my rifles and yours would be crushed in the dust. I would rather talk about Parkers.

I have asked for one that would be a members only formatt. I love talking Parkers but there are interesting rifles our members have. Bring on the rifle wars

Rich, my rifle forum of choice is the "Single Barrel Customs....." subforum on Dave Weber's site. Two members and I persuaded Dave to create the subforum several years ago. Unfortunately, that subforum is weighted toward prewar customs and custom gunsmithing, with very little discussion of collecting modern rifles.

Nothing much to tell. Unremarkable except never been scoped. Not a lot of finish left. I paid $200 for it 40 years ago. My Dad offered to trade me his .257 Roberts for it. I said no, cuz I figured I'd end up with the Roberts anyway.
