Yes, George, I remember seeing you at the annual meeting. I made a note to myself, not to attend that event again. Everyone standing around reminding each other of our stupid moves. Regardless how ill advised they were, it was a reminder that there's always room for improvement, even though we think the most recent took the cake.
To this day, I remember the talk the company commander gave us, the night before we got our first liberty after graduation from Basic, and before we went on to our A schools. He offered words of wisdom, and caution. I think he told us something to the effect, that Love may fade, but Herpes is Forever. Being a charter member of the SM club means, that despite no longer having to pay annual dues, the only route to leaving the club, is to die.** **Edit: Actually, that's not true either. As I recall, there's a bunch of pictures, called the Wall Of Shame, where members who have passed on are Honored for making moves so incredible, they are assumed to be unbeatable. |

Well you two aren’t alone here… I too am a charter member, having made a few blundreius errors in this regard as well… one being selling the gun in question…

Welcome to the club Gents. I joined a long time ago. And Edgar, it was a long time before Basic training and that Company commander's words of wisdom that we all got.

I have a 28 gauge with factory 24 inch barrels and they are specified that way in the serialization book.

There were only 27 known 28 gauge Parkers made with 24" barrels.

I'll guess about 6 1/2 lbs or so. .

6.5lb because the barrels are relatively thicker than a 20 or 16? did they not alter the outside profile?
