What mistakes have you made buying Parkers?

The only way to accomplish that in my opinion is don't buy your first one LOL!

Man, how I would love to be shown how to use these tools properly. I have a drop in choke gauge, chamber gauge and the gun measuring tool from Robert Louis I picked up used.

I have never made a mistake acquiring a Parker. (So, Andy, I've got a couple to sell if you are interested.)


(OK, in case the humor was missed in that statement, I should mention that my middle name is "Mistake.")


(OK, to further my case, I have every double gun I ever purchased. So what does that make me? Again, middle name -- Mistake.)

But, I'm content with what's in my gun safes.
