Somehow, Mr. "Repo-Depot" I think you are correct, sir. I'm a shanty Irish working class Mick-who, due to a pure stroke of luck (I was the only Grandson) inherited two reasonably valuable Parkers-more valuable, granted had they been in the 20-28-gauge or .410 calibre than the more commonly found 12 gauge-but when you are shooting for big money per bird, would you use anything but a 12 bore? Most of the elitists on that gruppen are big-buck bracket boys-there were a few fine gents I recall-two actually tried to get me "semi-re-instated I guess"- one: a Lon Morris? from Mt. actually said- "Hey, maybe this man doesn't want to list his inherited Parkers because he is concerned about the rise in crime and the scumbag druggies who would just as soon pawn off a BHE 20 gauge circa 1922 for drugs as run over their Grandmothers. Most of the elites seem to congregate in the Eastern Seaboard sector- so to Mr. Morris of MT, thanks-also to another gentleman who owns a Stutz-Bearcat dealership in the hometown of the late William Hardon Foster-the "father of skeet" and also a Parker man- and the Parker shotgun will always be the Acme of quality in the American side-by-side gun kingdom.
I only wish to support Ed Mulderlak, and will do so until he requests me not to-as I have learned a great deal from every one of his posts I have carefully read on this website- He most likely has a MENSA grade I.Q., yet, answers all the questions asked of him herein in a most intelligent way, detailed, researched until who laid the rail- but NOT as an elitist "gun snob", and that rings bells in my black Irish heart- whose favorite blessing runs like this: "Lord, for those who love us, let them continue to love us-but Lord, for those who cannot love us, we beseech Thee to be turnin' their hearts toward us. But gracious Lord, should their hearts be hardened by the weight of the world and they cannot learn to love us, then we ask Thee to turn their ankles instead- so's we can regonize the sorry sodden bastards as they go a limpin' away.
