What Horror Is This?

Your not out in the desert, there are a lot of Parkers in those mountains.

Hi Brett, I planned on attending those until the COVID hit and hopefully this year will see some events. I'm ordering the book today. I've wasted that much on a bad dinner before with friends, a book on my shelf is probably money wisely spent. Thank you everyone for the great information.

Being new to the forum, I have relied on a few members expertise before making a decision, they have all saved me from mistakes and I thank them all.

We sometimes buy things because we may want to flip them and make a little, others we buy because we want them.

I joined to learn about these fine guns, so that I may hopefully learn and pass onto others.

Yup, that's the way it is, 72 hours. Except, of course, a purchase made at auction, which is not returnable if you believe the auction blurb. I have never read an entire auction blurb, so I can only assume that a gross misrepresentation is an exception, but I don't know that for a fact. Auction blurb goes to multiple pages. I have never tried to return and internet or auction purchase, been very lucky, I guess. I look real close at the pictures.

Bill I bought my Parker Repro and of course it had a "no shooting" 3 day inspection. It looked fine and was as promised. However, when I got to shoot it a week later, it doubled, or wouldn't fire the second barrel. So I called the dealer and told them and they paid for the trigger repair rather than take the gun back. So there was some wiggle with them and I did appreciate that. I always wondered why there was a no firing period and that seems a bit disingenuous.

I don't think the Parker in question will get better when in hand. There are too many other nice guns available for this kind of money (ridiculous), I wouldn't consider buying this gun, even with a three day inspection.

Because there are always the few who will indiscriminately stuff anything into the chambers and touch it off, sometimes to the detriment of the gun, we need to protect ourselves from those few.

I guess I see that point Dean, thanks.

Andy, the Parker Serialization and Identification book is a good investment too. Very handy and plenty of photos to help you along.
