I have a couple of youngsters I want to give a Parker to, but until they learn how to treat them not in the way they treat the guns they hunt with, they won't get them. I should give them a beater I guess but I wanted to do better than that. Every time they come they have forgotten their gun case, throw it into the back of the truck like it is a garden hoe, and don't ever oil or clean them.

Your VH is a presentation piece now.

Harry has expressed interest in my 870 20 that got me started and we may begin there. Actually he really likes rifles now and it may mean we buy a few more rifles.

Maybe I will keep buying until I find one he can keep

Jerry,

My nephew is to inherit my fathers 20 Trojan. The SXS he shoots appears to have never been cleaned and it is a rattle trap. I offered to fix that, but was declined. I am seriously rethinking my will. The truth is the grandchildren have completely different taste in rifles and shotguns. I have thought of selling the lot and keeping just the ones I have been shooting of late.

Harry

I would give my Parkers to a friend who appreciated them long before I gave them to a family member who did not

Kinda takes you back in time , that feeling of waiting for your brand new Parker to arrived after your dealer ordered it for you. Looks perfect ! Now go out and make some memories with it.

Someone was asking about Brian's work recently, so I am reviving this thread. It also reminds me I need to take this gun out for quail in the near future.
