Ok whats a Elan engine. I must no more my simple mind can't see how that can warm metal at 40 below. But I believe you just hard to understand.

These photos are proof I know less about photography then I do about old Parkers-as hard it is to believe! Used my camera instead of having my friend, the pro, do them. But you get the idea.

No one here ruined anything. Heck, I created the stir by starting this this so i caused myself to pay a little more. Worth it too because the advice I got here was worth far more then the extra I paid. If this thread shows anything it is that I don't know what I'm doing at times. Thx for your concern tho.

Best, Ray

Calvin: An Elan is a small 250cc snowmachine. Doing what I said warms the carb throat just enough to remove frost that may be blocking the jet.

At least you got the gun Ray! And as long as the barrels are sound, you got a great deal. You can pass it on to someone if you like and tout it as "Swamp Angel II". Any of us would love to own it I'm sure.

Let me understand... you piss in the throat or on the outside of it?

Can this be done by an eskimo with an enlarged prostate??

I guess 40 below is not as cold as it sounds.

You never know who you will hear from. Was conacted by PGCA member who once owned the gun. Used it to shoot trap and crows. Said it was nicely balanced. He has letter that he is going to send to me. Apparently used by at least two different mid-west trap shooters and was factory restocked once. Maybe that's why it now has the period Redhead pad? Maybe the letter will tell me.

I'll try to post photos tomorrow for those who asked.

Best, Ray

I would get one of the best wood restorers fix the pinned area and recut the checkering, put a Silvers pad on it and be good to go to the Vintager's with the best of the others. On Pineland Plantation near Albany Ga., I saw Mr. Peter Burrell, with his straight stocked Purdy 20 with a broken wrist held together with Duct tape just keep on shooting till the end of Quail season. The next year he was shooting the same gun repaired and you could not tell it had been broken.
