Embarrassingly, I still haven't got the barrels checked. And, consequently haven't fired her yet. Still on my list of things to do. Even though I'm an old retired guy, I stay really busy helping my son. He has an antique gun business. He has probably 30 or 40 old Parkers that I salivate at every time I go to his shop. I will post again after getting everything checked out, and maybe some good quail pictures!

Being in the old gun business your son must have the appropriate measuring tools, no?

He does, Dean. But, he does very little repair. Next time I'm up at his store I'll take the gun with me and measure it myself. But, I'll still have it checked professionally. I might just bring another one home with me when I go. He's got a lettered one owned by Andrew Hallidie from San Francisco. Lots of history there.
