I find it’s helpful to buy another gun while waiting. It makes the time go more quickly.

Thank goodness we're not neighbors Garry. With like minds it could be financially devastating for both of us.

My wife got a big kick out of your post, but she couldn't imagine things getting much worse (or better, depending how you look at it)

Please don't tell her I wrote this

PS Waiting for a gun is a skill I've been working on for quite some time. Not much progress so far.

Great decision Randy, beautiful stock blank! Can't wait for the unveiling of the finished product. Congratulations that's awesome and a special Parker.

Call Ed Morgan. That is what I did for my 8 gauge. He set me up

I still like Gene Hill's method best...

He leaves the house with a (empty) battered old gun case telling his wife he's going to take it to a good buddy who knows more about these relics and find out if it's worth anything.

He returns with the new gun in the case and says his buddy told him it's worthless and he ought to scrap it someday.

Reggie I don't have a really up to date report on this one. I do know that it is actively being worked on and that we were hoping to catch a break in a couple of areas which we did that will save a fair amount of work. I honestly have no idea as to the time frame for completion. Wood has been acquired as well as a case which will require fitting. I'm just trying to be patient and stay out of the way. After a few of these projects I think I am getting a little better at the waiting game, I think??

I wondered what happened to this gun, I bid on it at the auction a few years back when it came up for sale. I’m glad it found a good home.
