2018 Parker vs LC Smith 16 ga and 20 ga Challenge Events

[Mike of the Mountain]

I'm looking for shooters, not collector pieces. I use my guns and don't need a closet queen.

I use mine as well. One of my favorites is a DHE 20 with all the options. I bought the gun 15+ years ago with 90% case color, it now has probably 80% maybe slightly less, I really don't care as I'll never sell it so I'll enjoy it.

Thanks for the compliments Mr Dwyer

My guns are always available for anyone to look at, discuss, etc.

I have a lot of original guns. My thing in the past was D grade straight grip no safety guns. I have a few of those still around. But over many years I have enjoyed taking an otherwise unusable/ unsafe Parker and turning her into what I want/ or would order from Parker today if they were still in business.
I have been fortunate to know Dave Fjelline and be able to have him work on my guns as well as other notable gunsmiths/ artians.

I believe form follows function. I have specific things I like in my guns to help me shoot my best. I have tried to resurrect these guns into what I want/ my formula. If I were to wait around for an all original unmolested Parker in the configuration I like, I would never find what I am looking for or would never ever be able to afford.

It has been a very fun and educational approach. I know it offends several people and is not for them but I am not trying to please anyone other than myself. I do ask those to remember that I am not and have not ever taken a safe or usuable Parker and molested it. As Mr Dwyer so plainly put, these were otherwise unusable pieces of "junk" (in some peoples opinion. You see junk I see potential) and resurrected them back to something usable and put them back in the field.
