Wayne, Thank you but, regrettably, I probably will not get to Las Vegas. If I ever get to Las Vegas it would be ONLY for the gun show and to meet friends, old and new. All else there leaves me cold.

A 1905 production hammer gun has to be one of the last to leave Meridian. A very,very nice gun

Rich,

If you had come up for air long enough at the Southern five years ago you would have realised that the hammer gun I was shooting was a 20 gauge. Despite the fact that you harrased me at every station for shooting at the small bore peg. Mark Conrad had the most beautiful hammered 20 gauge Parker there that year. I still have dreams about it.

Here is the 0 framed 20 along side the 4 framed 10.

I didn't give much thought to hammerguns then and don't recall what you shot just that you shot well. Wasn't that the year you won an event?

I do remember Marks gun however. A grade 3 12 with fluid steel barrels,
tightly choked. I believe Turnbull had done the metalwork.

Rich,

I did win that event with the 20 as well as the 10 gauge hammer gun challange and I was real proud of it until I realised that I was the only one shooting in those two compititions!

The Parker I saw of Marks was a 20 gauge hammergun with fluid steel barrels and I think it was a D grade. Wayne's little 20 makes my heart go pitty pat....
