should I shoot my old Parker or hang it up

[Fishtail]

I don't always agree with BD but I gotta say he's right....why are we treating this ancient gun like it's a has-been?

I'd peek down the bores to make sure nothing is in them. I might even get a 10 year old to do it cuz his eyes are better than mine. Then, I'd buy some non-heavy loads as sold at the local sporting goods place and blast away.

This gun is in no way something that should be relegated to the fireplace mantle. It's a very viable gun in 2015. Just don't put Magnum duck loads through it.
