About them snow blowers..A nabor lost 2 1/2 fingers removing snow from a pluged up snow blower......Yup is was not running either! As he pulled the last larg chunks of snow... the tork on the impeller allowed the blads to move forward 1/2 " cutting off 2 1/2 fingers. Always use a tool to remove snow from the blades!!!!

Thank you for the callout! I do now have a bit more information on the gun, thanks to a very kind forum member. It was one of the in-the-white sets sold to Galazan, Ken Hurst was the engraver (scratching, he calls it) and John Gillette did the case coloring. The case was hand-made/fitted by a retired doctor on the west coast. I've not been able to discover how many A1's had a 16 gauge barrel set, but it doesn't appear to be very many. Great pointing gun with good (but not perfect) dimensions for me - I just need to get it out on some birds and see what kind of partners the gun and I make!

Rex...you will find the repro's all have high stock dementions and will shoot a tad high...Set the target fully on top the rib, that should do the trick....I shoot sporting clays and hunt wild birds. I have ajusted to shooting the repro's and have a hard time with my original lower stocked guns now. I have found three original parkers that are stocked hi and shoot them very well. I have sold off my low stocked guns and Im still looking for a hi grade 16 with a tightly choked left barrel for wild roosters in Kansas.... stock drop 1 3/8 by 2 3/8 works good for me now.... (-: love them repro's!!!!
