Harry - its due to me trying to bring into the discussion info you shared on the Parker forum. - What I had gathered by your post there was that you were comptemplating purchasing #30651 and were asking for input, but then introduced another "D" gun - - a 10 1/8 lb. 10 gauge with blued damascus barrels and with a picture that reported what I felt to be serial #17638.

What this all amounts to is me learning to keep my fingers quiet about something typed on another forum. But - - did you describe two guns on the Parker forum, or did I screw that matter up, too?

Regardless, best of luck, Harry. And may the clouds that you report occasionally shooting at out of your back door turn into crows within range of your Parkers. Bob
