When I first attempted to join the PGCA, not knowing Eightbore or the "rules and regs"- I made the mistake of mentioning a high grade ejector 12 Parker left to me by my late maternal grandfather- when I refused to submit photos and give out the serial number and other data, things started to turn "strange"- as if he doubted that I might own/posses such a shotgun. I do- and both Larry Del Grego and Brad Bachelder have seen and handled it.

I sold it to a friend in AZ about 3 years ago-price is between him and me-and put the money into the MI college trust fund program for my grandkids future college education.

When he once posted that he bought a 12 gauge M21 from an e-bay ad for $500- I questioned that- firstly because E-Bay doesn;t allow gun sales, maybe gun cases and scopes- and secondly, because nobody today with Internet access to GI and GA and GunBroker would be stupid enough to "low ball" a M21-to a ridiculous figure. So, Eightbore is NOT on my Xmas card list.
