Dean I have no idea who is doing the research, I just filled out the request form on line and e-mailed to the requested address. I don't own a shooting cart plus as I recall there is no place in the tent to "park" personal guns that are not part of the official PGCA display.
It may interesting to just have table space for members to park their Parkers while out shopping or visiting. While guns are parked it would be a nice opportunity to see a wide variety of guns. |

A few pictures from today of 83621 in natural light, pretty amazing gun!! Light cleaning with a Frontier pad, still has some brown tint but the CC does show.

Just to close to loop on this gun. As I stated it had a crack at the wrist from the top tang down to the trigger guard on one side. The gun was originally fitted with the hickory rod and that keep it together. I did not want to soak the wood to de-oil it to glue the crack (and lose the original finish and character) so Brian Dudley suggested a carbon fiber 3/8" rod be inserted up through the pistol grip cap past the crack, glassed in place. I couldn't be happier the gun is now completely stable with zero movement.
