Wayne is like the cool grandpa everyone wishes they had growing up haha . Just about every odd gun I've thought about buying at some point Wayne has one . I much prefer doing business with people I've met through the PGCA . I always enjoy talking to the older members especially when doing business because they impart a bit of their knowledge on these classic guns to me .

I'm happy with the G grade its also my first Parker hammer gun . The action closes up as if it new and balances perfectly in the hands . I will try to get a better picture of the barrels when I get home . I've been busy working 7am-9pm the past 4 weeks .

I’m old and really appreciate hearing you say that. I’d like to think that when I’m gone, I left more than stuff.

Thats one thing I think about when I get one of these vintage guns and I get to to know the previous owner even if its just conversing on here. I feel like even after someones gone their memory lives on by taking these old doubles in the field and using them as my predecessor's did. Even at 28 I sometimes think if I live to be 80 is anyone going to have the same appreciation for these old doubles as I do .


Here is a better picture of the color of the barrels , I want to say I have seen a similar color before but I cant remember where . I like it though gives it a distinctive appearance .
