Along those lines, how hard would it be to have the forum visible to only forum associates and PGCA members?

One should join the PGCA and use the members only Off Topic forum for a similar inquiry.

Correct straight grip V grades are few and far between, about 3-5% of V's made . There are lots of pistol grips remade, some well, but often poorly, into straight grip guns.

As the grades get higher, the percent of straight grip guns climb, until the small quantity A and B level where the percent approaches 40%. Straight grip guns were never widely favored by American sportsmen, and Parker numbers reflect that. So better move quickly if you find one you like , it is right and the price is right for you.

Just a tip... If you have a question about a gun that is for sale. Just post a photo of it. Do not mention where it is for sale, or any details that might direct others to it if you are seriously interested.

Besides, posting direct links to sale sites is kind of against the rules of the forum anyway.

Keep your eyes open and learn as much as you can, and you will find exactly what you want in time.

That gun could have already been sold and the seller just didn't update the listing right away. Who knows.

It was a nice looking gun, someone will be a happy camper.

I have a very nice late 1-1/2-frame 26" VH12 with a blonde stock and a straight grip that is one of my very best shooters for me. My best duck gun is a 2-frame 30" VH12 also with a SG. I'll take a straight grip every time over a pistol.

While I understand your reasons for suggesting this, we need to continue to make this website, in it's entirety (except the Members Only section, which is one of the benefits of PGCA Membership), available to everyone on this continent and, in fact, to the world. I believe we are the preeminent shotgun collectors organization and I dare say we have the very best shotgun collectors website, bar none. We need to keep it this way - not barring anyone - and just suffer the small pains that go along with being the "Biggest and the Best".
I believe that if we start barring certain groups of people, or become 'exclusive' it will spell the beginning of our downfall.

Yes, we need to be able to maintain "perks" to paid membership.
And we need to keep this board exactly what it is... A Great one. And not allow it to take any steps towards becoming what others have.
