That's fine as long as it had been fired before your ownership.

I had a Parker that I believe had never been fired and as long as I owned it it never was. I believe the new owner will never fire it either.

There are damn few Parkers we can hold up as 'benchmark' guns and for posterity's sake they should remain so....IMHO.

I agree with that IF it's unfired. The original post on the BHE 20 didn't say anything about it being unfired. I see nothing wrong with using a 90% or better gun. I just sold a benchmark 20ga skeet gun. It had been used but very little and I wasn't going to use it. It helped me get the BHE 20 which I dearly enjoy using.

I couldn't disagree more ! Fired , fired very little or unfired be it a VH or anything up to and including an A1 if I pay for it , it's a 99% given I'll shoot it . And again that's the buyers prerogative .
