Default WL&Moore inventory

WLM has way more Parkers on their site than I've ever seen before, and some very nice ones.

It seems to me that there are a lot of Parkers for sale in a lot of places right now, compared to a year ago.

Flow could also be read as another old collector died.

Or it could mean some folks have decided through necessity to liquidate their collections.

I decided to reduce the number of Foxes in my safe and sold several in the last couple of years. I didn’t think I needed that many guns with my number of birthdays. I wound up adding an English gun and a couple of Parker’s. Eve always seems to point out another apple on the tree.

Having an Eve character involved in anything is going to make it more expensive!!!

When I was much younger I'd almost get mad and thought it was sacrilegious watching old guys allow a big inventory of fine shotguns build up in their safes. I couldn't afford them so used to encourage the old goats to unload these lonely fine pieces at more affordable prices. After all these American masterpieces were not being allowed to do what they were designed and built to do! Awesome handmade machines that worked at -20 F or 110 F, or rain or snow ! I knew these "collectors" couldn't have possibly used them but rather just drank whiskey and would occasionally open the safe and look at them...
...now I'm turning into one...and I blame this marvelous discussion board. (:

I like your post, Chris. I'm an old goat (not the Tom Brady type) and have a few guns in my safes. I shoot them all, and I don't drink whiskey. They are indeed awesome "machines" and worth a spin every so often...or 30-50 days a season(!). There are pathways for a generation of vintage gun fanciers. We are on ours and it's similar to those that have come before us...with our own little twists.

However the guns become available, it's a blessing when they do.
