Austin, I still have "stuff" I bought from The Fox Shop. I recently sold a complete 3200 Remington shotgun receiver and forend iron that obviously came from the Remington factory. He probably got his buttplates from Remington also. I also bought some great custom rifle stuff from him, like horn buttplates and European swivels. That wasn't Captain Higgins, was it?

It has been 10 plus years since he has been in my area; I can't remember his name, Bill

Best, Austin

The gun obviously has its flaws, but it looks sleek and its apparent dimensions would seem to make it a real shooter.
Price is crazy high, but at the right price, this would be a terrific Pheasant/Sharptail gun.

What a mess. Nothing seems right on this gun. I have a Trojan that was refurbished to original Parker specs and it looks twice as nice. Personally I wouldn't want the gun at any price. I wonder how it's choked?

I love the way he goes to great trouble to hide the last 3 digits of the serial number, but misses them completely on the back of the barrel lug. 196113. Oh well.

Not at any price. The gun is an insult to every original Parker out there.

Take the gun for what it is: a shooter. I would not be embarassed at all to have that in a duck blind, or shooting clays.

Maybe if it was free and choked right, Mark would take it.

Sorry Mark, just kidding at your expense.
