Gary, It would be my pleasure and honor to see you hold and examine this little beauty. The real dream would be to watch you shoot it.

[Greg Baylander]

Dean, Thanks for letting me shoot 10 rounds out of that beautiful gun at the 5 stand on Friday. It was surely a treat I won't forget Greg Baylander

[Dean Hanson]

Greg, My pleasure brother. It was so wonderful to see you smash some clays. Thank you for letting me share a piece of history with you.

Be well. Dean

[Craig Budgeon]

Dean you have acknowledged every ones contribution, however, the bragging rights are yours. Perfection was achieved with that guns restoration.

[Dean Hanson]

Craig, It was a long four plus years to get this lifter 20 back to where it deserved to be. I'm very fortunate to be the caretaker for awhile. Thank you for the compliments. It is my goal to share this little beauty with as many Parker/SXS enthusiasts as possible. It still feels very surreal to reach into the gun safe and bring her out.

Be well, Dean

Dean, how much drop was on your original stock? The 20g lifter formerly known as "Mine" had over 3".
