should I shoot my old Parker or hang it up

[OH Osthaus]

but maybe just maybe

many of us don't need a gunsmith because we know how to evaluate a gun
(some of us may even carry wall thickness and bore gauges in the truck just because you never know when you'll need them)

but then again - some one who asks the wall hanger question may not

the odds are - this is a great gun, odds being what they are

Here are some better photos. My father said he last shot the gun about 20 years ago. (He doesn't really hunt) I on the other hand hunt all the time. As far as I can tell the gun looks great and ready to hunt with but, I usually hunt with a Browning A5 in with 3.5" shells. I know I can't use those with this Parker but would I be able to use 2.75" Federal 6 shot? My father can't recall what size shells he used. Turkey Season opens up this Saturday and I would love to knock the spider webs off this old beauty with the beard of a big gobbler... HAHA.

Thanks for all the very fast responses you guys are a great help.
