You’re always welcome and encouraged to rejoin. It’s my belief that every Parker owner should be a member.

I agree. Simply managing all of the various firearm related expenses based on real need.

An $800 trojan better not have a pinned stock.

I bought out my two siblings’ interests in my late father’s 12-gauge Trojan, 230608, 2-frame, with 30-inch barrels, based on a professional valuation of $800 (with the evaluator selected by me!) and it had a PINNED STOCK!

This confirms what I’ve had a developing suspicion of: I ain’t much of a Yankee trader.

So you bought it for $533? For your father's gun you could have gone three times that much if the siblings did not cooperate and be glad to get it.

Buying your late Father's Trojan --- priceless at any price....

Well, famine to feast.

I bought a 1900 G on a #2 frame today for $550 with apparently no issues, and a VHE on a #1 frame for $200. They even threw in a giant bolt through the cheeks in the VHE for free.

Yes, Mr. Dudley, you can rib me some more about buying beat up guns, but that VHE can't be left like it is. It's covered in rust, but the bores look good, and it's tight. Just had to do it.

Hey... I would have bought a $200 VHE.

Glad to hear it. I think I might leave just as ugly as it is now, and shoot it at the Southern.

After that, it needs to come completely apart, which I have never done. Will need some guidance on that, and on the stove bolt issue (pictures forthcoming).

Evidently renewing ones membership to the PGCA has magical properties. New membership card arrived last week, and then this .....

I saw that GH but have too many other irons in the fire.
