What Won't You Buy??

[Phil Yearout]

I passed on a 16ga Model 24 years ago and have always been sorry. I already have one of those Stevens slab sided .410's, so obviously ugly guns don't scare me off . But I probably shouldn't be on this thread anyway as I'm not a collector; just an old bird hunter lucky enough to own a few decent hunting guns and a couple for the trap range, and happy with those. BUT...I like 28" barrels, double triggers, extractors, splinters, and guns that look like they have been around a while and have a few stories to tell...kinda like me.

Me too Phil. It all started with my Dads VH that needed fixing. Somehow I ended up with a variety of Parker’s that wouldn’t interest any auction house. I used them to learn how to completely disassemble repair and reassemble making safe shooters of all. There are a few quite nice guns and a few beaters and a group that anyone could take into the field and not worry about a scratch or two but take as much game as limits and ability allows. To answer the question there’s no Parker I’d pass on if the price was realistic and my toy budget could accommodate. Cheers Jack
