Default Rock Island 32" 20 gauge -- sold today

I was thinking of some of you lovers of long barreled 20s today. Rock Island had a V grade 20 with 32' barrels and a second set of 28 inchers. It was a straight/splinter configured gun with no safety and a single trigger. It was not on my "gotta have" list, but I told my wife if it went for the high end estimate of $2K I would buy it, but that I was sure it would go higher. It did, selling for just under $6K in short order.

It was a nice gun for sure. Thankfully, at least for my marriage, it did not have double triggers.

I assume someone here bought this gun. I hope so, and also hope we'll see and hear more about it soon.

There were quite a few Parkers at the auction. Only a few nicer original guns, and many other "beater guns" -- as Mills would call them -- good for shooting.

Anyone else pick up a new gun from this auction?
