Long Lost Parker

[Brush Buster]

Steven , A very nice gun ,with the internet there is always the possibility of locating it ! Locating it might depend on how long ago you parted with it ! High grade guns seem to have staying qualities in collections and I have read usually around twelve years or so on the average , I don't know if that's true or not but I have parted company with many lower grade guns over the years ,while I have a CHE 20 Gauge that I have owned for at least 15 years or so ! Good Luck in your search !

Thanks. As luck would have it, I sold it twelve years ago.

Nice read Steve.

Briley screw in chokes?? $500 spent to lower the value of a gun by approximately $2500. To each his own. I don't know how hard I would look for this great gun. Of course, it may be priced to reflect the installation of the Brileys. Good luck in your search.

I DID NOT put Brileys in the gun - heaven forbid!

I love the barrel work Briley does on bores; they have the best machining in the business. But bringing up choke tubes was in the context of other options, like a single trigger, none of which did I select.

If I had my way, there would be fixed chokes in my DT10 sporting gun. I haven't changed chokes in that gun in ten years.

Please forgive any misunderstanding.

I am a firm believer in fixed chokes, double barrels, and double triggers.
