Bill,

Morris wouldn't want one of my culled Parkers. He did, however, give me alot of shells and he kept me in 12 year old single malt whisky. Plus he never showed being tired of me hanging around like a stray dog....

Harry

Dave,
My wife and I shoot RST's and New Era's and like both products equally as well. The owners of each of these fine companies’s have in the past generously donated cases of their shells to our PGCA silent auction. That's just one more good reason to give them our support when in need of low pressure ammo for our beloved Parkers.

Harry, Morris Baker is the roots of the Vintage Gun game. We should all be grateful to him and Alex for their attention to our shooters.

Default Missed meeting Morris in Michigan

I attended the "Yooper Shoot" in June 2010 as a "first-timer" and prior to that, had spoken with Morris on the phone. Found out that he, like me, is also an avid crow and woodchuck shooter, also he visits the UP each Fall for woodcock and grouse. Alex and his beautiful wife and helpmate were there at the RST booth, but Morris had to cancel at the last moment. I had looked forward to seeing the 20 VH that was once Burton Lowell Spiller's favorite shotgun for "Partridge Shortenin'" (meaning, shorting their flight path with a well placed load of shot)-- I was also prefared for Partegas or Cuesta Reyes, with appropriate post-shooting drams of some single malt from the Britsh Isles- not my beloved Bushmills of course, but when in Rome- etc.

Brian was also at the Yooper shoot, and I have also seen him at the Michigan LP SxS clays funfest in April and June near Lapeer, MI-- I agree 100%, both these specialized shell companies give great personal service, and they are owned and run by avid double gun shooters. Just as if you are a millwright at GM, you drive a GM car or truck and buy stock in the company, we should all in turn do business with RST and New Era, as they support the PGCA and our brother side-by-side assns. and "In Spades"--

It is with great pain that I push the "Thanks" button on Francis for the first time, but he made some good comments about my friend Morris Baker and the vintage ammunition business in general.
