I have two double Trap guns.A VHE 32" full/full, single trigger,vent rib,beavertail,recoil pad,full comb high stock and non-auto safety and the same gun in DHE both pistol grip guns. Made in 1927 and 1928. The DHE is provenanced to a trap shooter.There is no question in my mind both guns were ordered as target guns.

But I agree with Pete wholeheartedly...Trap shooters are notorious for fooling with their guns and Parker would try to accomodate within reason.

Some day we'll probably see a Parker trap gun with a recoil reducing adjustable stock (looks like prosthetic limb) for sale on gunbroker

Hey Dean oh Dean where are you? Seriously I hold Massachusetts in much higher esteem since the Senate race was decided

Ya never know Dave, remember a while back there was an otherwise nice SA trap with a ported barrel for sale on there.

Francis,Let me help you decipher this: Crow shooting should go in the Hunting section. While I love a Model 12 and I shoot one quite often at best this should be in the Other Fine Doubles section.Out of this whole diatribe the only thing "On Topic" is your sixth paragraph.As I am not getting any younger I really don,t want to spend the rest of my time reading diatribes.

Francisco,I you really want to "make friends and influence people" keep it short and to the point.......Please.....

And as at one time there was a SKI on the tag end of my surname, advise from a brother Pollack/Pollock?? is also always welcome. My bad, I guess. When Pete Lester mentioned blasting crows with his Parker Trap gun, I got "carried away" figured he was another fellow member of the brotherhood-as is Morris Baker--

I love to shoot crows with double guns and M12's, but will not mention either one again on the PGCA unless someone directly invites me to do so- Fair Enough??

That's not as far-fetched as you might think. A GHE was offered to me about two years ago with just such a stock. I said to the guy, "Do I look crazy?" He replied, "I didn't think you'd want it but I just had to ask." I never even asked to see the gun.

Hey Dean oh Dean where are you? Seriously I hold Massachusetts in much higher esteem since the Senate race was decided

Me too! And the outcome of that race was determined by independant-thinking voters, not Republicans or right-wingers.

Actually that is one that we needed a picture of, sort of Ripley's Believe or Not Parker. LOL

Sounds as though some one might be wanting to relocate to Sans-Francisco. Sorry, I just couldn't help it!
