CONFESSION

[Patrick Devlin]

Well I guess I will just have to accept my affliction and organize the search for a suitable 10ga. and a 28 for good measure.

Patrick everyone seems to have forgotten about a certain gauge, the 410 now that's what you need for pointed woodcock... Easy to carry light now that's the one you need after the 10, 16 and 28

[Patrick Devlin]

Well that sounds good, my wife still thinks that the smaller the gauge the smaller the price. Seriously though I have trouble connecting on grouse with my 20ga. the 410 would require a great deal of practice to become proficient. Hummm another plus for the 410.

Ahhh, just do like the old farts Patrick. Go buy a $45,000 .410 and take a bandsaw to the bbls to take the chokes off....

[Patrick Devlin]

Are you kidding I can't afford a band-saw.

Congratulations and there is no cure for the "Parker Fever" thank the Good Lord for that- I'll pass on the 28 gauge and the .410 shotguns, whether Parker, Ithaca or even Winchester- But if you find a PH (E) or GH (E) std. 10 bore on a Number 2 frame- 30 or 32" Parker Steel barrels, DT and good dimensions that you don't want or like (if that's possible NOT to like a Parker) I might be interested. Have been looking at both a Linder Daly 10 and a Ithaca NID- But- there's nothing like a Parker- welcome aboard P!!-

Francis, I will keep my eyes and ears open. Here in Maine we have a large weekly swap and sell publication that generally includes about 6 pages of firearms and frequently, about once a month, a Parker is advertised at a reasonable price so you never know.
