When I talked to Tom about one of the presses he told me a great many things I didn’t absorb of perhaps went over my head . Do they use an older style 600JR and rebuild repaint etc or do they take new presses and change them out ?

You can buy just the dies and fit them to an old style JR press, or fully set up for your load in a used JR with new dies. I decided to go for the fully set-up option to keep it simple and not waste hulls setting up a press and dies. If you are familiar with reloading either approach is not a big deal.
Many guys pick up one of these big Parkers and say "I could never shoot that thing". But I can say from experience that Parker produced beautifully balanced guns and once you shoot a few rounds you forget about the size and weight. |

Now would'nt you really like to sneak that baby out on the marsh just to bag one duck just to say you did it?
Looking good my friend living the life.

My little jon boat would sink if I put my 8 in it.
I thought I would want to take mine duck hunting, but decided it was too heavy to lug around the marsh. |

I hand carried my AYA Matador ten around the Dorchester County Maryland marshes for years, just because I had the shells and didn't want to give up a 90 yard chance if it presented itself. One time, we were invited to clear out a pond that had been populated by hundreds of RSA mallards that were run out of a polluted home base. I had my ten that day, but wished my eights were a little closer than 120 miles up the road. The lady of the house begged us to take a
"big shot" like in the old days, but we shot everything on the wing. |

To be honest I’d like to take it out in a cut cornfield for the early resident goose season !
