Hi Mark and another Welcome! to you. Where in MA are you from? I'm in Andover.

Mark:

I extend my condolences to you on the loss of your father.

As for guns you are retaining, I cannot think of any objects that embody the spirit of a friend or family member more than the fire-arms he valued, and with which he enjoyed many days of fellowship in the field, marsh, woods, or at the range.

You are lucky to have inherited the guns, and we are gratified that you appreciate them and have become a member.

Do consider posting photos of the guns in GENERAL PARKER or OTHER DOUBLES sections, and other fire-arms, such as rifles or hand-guns, in the OFF-TOPIC section. If so inclined, include any photos of your father with his guns.

Take a look in this Forum under NON-PGCA SHOOTING EVENTS, SHOWS, AND CONVENTIONS, and you will see an event in Rhode Island scheduled for March 28th that you could attend and meet some of us and shoot sporting clays and 5-stand.

Thanks for the warm welcome, and all of the helpful advice. I'll post some photos as soon as I can.

Best regards.

Where do you shoot, if you don't mind me asking? I belong to Mass Rifle in Woburn, and Harvard Sportsmens Club out in Littleton...neither of which have great facilities for shotgun activities. I've been thinking about joining Minuteman up in Burlington sometime later this year.
