Gosh, your gun "order" is making me reconsider mine!

Nice orders! I wonder just how much your remaining money would buy in 1927 cartridges. I don't want to know if you are buying bootlegged whiskey.

I have thought of this long and hard and now know I need more time to think just in case my dad and grandpas are planning to have this made up if and when.

That will make my paperwork easier. Good to see another 26" barrel order.

Hmmm, the old time warp conundrum, eh? Don't wait too long, though; your 1927 dollars are good only for a limited time.

Just for the record, here's my "order." Rest assured I get no discount for sending business Parker Bros.' way.
I'll take a 1904 year gun and adjust the funds back for retro-inflation. I like the engraving from this era better and this gun would have the wear compensating insert since I will shoot it a great deal. My gun will be an AH (no ejectors, I'm a very early reloader) 16 gauge, built on the 0 frame and weighing just at 6 lbs 4 oz. It will have 2 9/16 chambers, 30 inch barrels with a special order of Bernard Steel. Its stock will be a straight/splinter configuration and will have the skeleton butt plate. I'll specify setters onlyfor the engraving (they'd be Gordons, but no one could tell but me) and also include quail, grouse and woodcock. The chokes would be open, to shoot 55%/65% with #7 shot. The drop at the heel of the 15 " butt stock would be 2 1/4 inches for rising birds. I'd have my initials engraved in the gold inlay on the stock. How's that for dreaming?!
