Buying Question

[Bill Murphy]

This could have been a gun factory equipped with a beavertail. For anyone to describe this as a factory skeet gun is a bit ridiculous. Del Grego couldn't have had all the facts to make the statement that is claimed. In my opinion, the Del Grego shop converted this gun into a skeet gun and stamped it, like they did many others. The poster got good information on the trapshooters forum and got the same information here. It's not an original skeet gun. Nice gun though. By the way, I'm not clear on the present barrel length. Is it 26" or 28"?

The barrel length is 26" the book says this gun should be 28" thats how this all started

I want to make sure of something here
Richard who owns this gun and I have talked several time over the last 2-3 weeks about me buying this gun
He has been honest and straight to answere all of my questions as best he could
To try and help he even took his time to ask Mr Del Grego
The reson I have posted questions here is due to my lack of knowledge not my mis trust of Richard

Mark I don't think anyone here is stateing the seller is untrustworthy. I don't look at the other forum you discussed this on but it's my perception the ansers are about the same and the gun isn't considered by most of the Parker enthusiasts here a "skeet" gun but it is a skeet configured gun. This is a nice shooter but IMHO doesn't warrent the price of a real skeet gun esp a graded gun. Most of the skeet guns were VHE so a graded one like this GHE is a rarer gun. No one has mentioned what the seller is asking price wise for this so all the hoopla is pure supposition on our part as we don't know if he is asking $10,000 or a $1000.

At the end of the day the important thing is to ask YOURSELF A) Do I like the gun, B) Can I afford the gun C) Is this to shoot targets/hunt with or are you buying it as a investment. If you like the guna nd are comfortable with the price than congratulations on a very nice Parker shooter. IF your primary purpose is as an investment for future return then I would pass on it.

Rich
With all due respect
The questions wasn't about the cost of the gun
It wasn't about what I was going to do with it
As far as me being able to afford it I will leave that to the seller and me
The question was what is it and is it real?

I also didn't say anyone here said Dick wasn't and honest seller
I wanted to make sure people here didn't think I thought Dick wasn't honest
I have told Dick today I wasn't going to buy it
For you Parker Guys take a look

Thanks for everyones help here
