Craig, I agree with you about his passion - so apparently you have seen his extensive and dusty collection? A very amazing guy whom I would nominate as "Man of the Year".... any year - every year.

Agree with all the above, and it's well outside the Parker line. Close to 15 years back I bought a Cooper 17ccm and was hunting brass when in conversation with Dan Cooper he told me all the brass is right there in PA. And that's when Morris first came to my aid. We all with the vintage bug are really fortunate to have his ear and his commitment.

I’m not sure if it’s still there as I visited the place fifteen years ago , but there’s a gunshop on the right side of I-81 just before heading north into NY called “The Outdoorsman” if I remmember correctly . That guy had some quality rifles at the time Coopers , Cacades and Dakotas . But he also had a multitude of hard to find new “vintage” items . I visited him during my Marlin phase , I had a pair of model 1892/92 rifles in 32 cal . They could shoot both rim fire and centerfire if you swapped the firing pin . Anyway this fella had two hundred pieces of brand new late sixties manufactured 32 Long Colt brass still in the Remington boxes . Think I bought the four boxes for $20 . The stuff for my needs was almost priceless !

Just curious, can't be sure looking at the pictures, does Spillers gun have a single trigger ? Thanks for any feedback, Mark
