Recoil pads, its going to have to be a smoking deal for me to buy a gun with a non factory pad.

I used to feel that way. Then I realized so many super nice guns of the period had pads added so I have taken that spec off my "do not buy".

The features which hold the least appeal to me in no particular order are:

1. Single triggers 2. Recoil pads " Especially on Grade 3 or higher Parkers" 3. Ejectors 4. Barrels longer than 30" 5. Frames sizes larger than 1 1/2 6. Big bulky beavertail forearms 7. Vent ribs on a SxS

With That said: I own or have owned examples of all those pet peeve type guns. I guess it's just part of the my doublegun addiction.

My preference is 16-20 gauge guns with double triggers, extractors, splinter forearm, around 6.5lbs and those just right sized 28" barrels.

Paul, we should not sit next to each other at an auction. The auctioneer would have trouble determining who had the bid. (BTW, you have good taste in guns)

Well, I really enjoy your posts. Nothing exciting happening here in the smokies today except picking up a set of 20 barrels after having a dent removed. Where is Bruce today, he always kicks in some meaningful info.? You guys are the best!

We're in Gatlinburg. Was called back into the military after 9/11 and did another 8 years before returning to TN and retirement to sell real estate. Enjoyed a lot of gun shows and picked up a Parker or two there. Always enjoy seeing what everyone is doing on the forum. Just sold a nice cabin for a client who was a B52 pilot back in the day.

I won't buy any gun I'm afraid to bring into the field or shoot (probably can't afford it anyways). Likewise I won't buy any old cane fly rod I'd be afraid to fish with.
