New member - New to me 1882 Parker

[Mike Franzen]

Hey Darryl good to have you in the club. The best Parker’s are always the family Parker’s. You’re lucky to have one with such a history. Looks like the old girl was used a lot. Are you planning to shoot her?

[Darryl Gourley]

Thanks Mike. I imagine she's been under a wagon bench, bouncing around on more than one occasion. It was a tool used on a farm for close to a hundred years. I would like to fire it but need to have a reputable gunsmith in my area check it out first. I've heard cautionary tales concerning this type of barrel, just need to be safe.

Darryl - Where are you located? There may be a knowledgeable person in your area with the appropriate tools to examine your gun
