new member questio I have been collecting old American side by sides for quite a while now I buy repair some time, restore sometimes and Resell sometimes but I finally have the grades of the guns I’ve been wanting. I am looking for barrels 30 inch or 32 inch steel that will fit a # one frame there is only one thing you need to do with an old American classic side-by-side and that is to shoot take care of it and pass it on

Thanks for having me. I shoot BP pistol, metallic cartridge rifle, and now BP shotgun. I have two Parkers now; S/N 56683 and S/N 227869. The VH 227869 I bought a few years ago. My lovely wife told me to find myself a retirement present. She told me I had $300 in the budget. Well, I found this Parker VH and bought it. I told my wife I'll take my beating now -cause I went over budget badly. She forgave me!

The 56683 is a beautiful Damascus steel lady from 1889 that needs some cosmetic work. I loaded her with 2 3/4 dr. of FFg X 1 1/8 oz. #8 and shot some trap. The reach on this gun is incredible. Any help with new BP loads or Bismuth shot would be of great help.
