Russ- always love to see pics of your clunker -


I was headed home from an errand a couple weeks ago and a guy was rolling this one out of the barn to get it ready for inspection- I stopped and we compared the differences between his MKII and the MKIII like yours I had once



i knew the guy had a MG TD and a B - but had not seen this on the road before

Now that we've totally stolen this thread let's give it back. Jerry Andrews is a good guy. I have more experience buying and trading with him, but he fixed two LC Smiths for me. Parker 10 gauges are great guns. I shot a pheasant tower shoot with one of mine yesterday

This old gun is at Jerry's now to be tightened up and cleaned up. The reason I use him is he has worked on some of my junk before and i've done some trading with him also. He is also a blast to talk to about old Bear Archery stuff. I know their are gentleman on this forum that does outstanding work also that I would love to send something to them one of these day. I'll most likely try to work up some bismuth black powder loads for waterfowl and buy some RST regular load to shoot and start saving the hulls to reload. As far as the hijacking goes I enjoyed the conversation. I when to the fall gun show here Saturday and saw three Parkers. One gentleman had a couple 12ga GH's One was in rough shape and he had the letter for the other. It appeared to be in good shape with 26" factory barrels. I didn't look them over real hard because he wanted 2,800 for the one he had the letter for and 2,000 for the rough one. The other gentleman had a 0 grade early 20,000 serial# 10ga lifter, the stock had a thick coat of shellac on it and the bores looked rough from chambers to muzzle. He only wanted 2500 for it.

I just unboxed it about two hours ago. It's just a shooter, nothing special to look at. I posted a research letter question concerning it several weeks ago on the general info forum. Looking forward to using it on turkeys hopefully this Spring. Need to find some suitable loads and do some patterning.
