Rainy day/ beater

[Wayne Johnson]

Can I talk about a pump gun here? I'm getting to be too old to go out in the rain and snow, but back in my younger days, I used a Sears-Roebuck 12 ga pump I paid $99.00 for. The barrel is a 3" chamber, 28" modified



I painted it with some stuff called "Bowdull", and put a sling on it using a hose clamp around the magazine tube, and toted it for miles around the Pamunkey and Mattiponi rivers. Rain, snow, swamp, dust it didn't matter. It got cleaned once in a while, rather it needed it or not. It rode in the back of pickups, or strapped to the roll bar of my Jeep. It's still in my safe.

We've seen some Parkers that were treated that way. To some they were just a tool to get the job done... and some people just didn't take care of their tools. You can do that to a pump or utility grade Browning O/U without being tarred and feathered by the "doublegun community" but not to a Parker
