Matt, I think the only part of the post you missed was the title,
"Case for my 16 ga. Hammer gun"
Second, I also think you are correct about some of these guys knowing every Parker in existance, on the east coast anyway.

You and I are the newbies in this world of Parkers, the knowledge that I have witnessed on this site sometimes scares me. We have contracted the disease of Parkers. There is no known cure. You can only subdue the symptoms by the ocasional sighting and purchase of more Parkers. I have come to the conclusion that the hunt for the next Parker is as much fun as actualy hunting with parkers.
Sit back, read, learn and enjoy the ride.
