I was "tough on Bill" in part because he got me booted from the PGCA gruppen. Absolute power corrupts absolutely- Now- as my German speaking friends might say- "Machts nicht" as I only have one Parker in my Browning safe- a 1928 era 12 Trojan Grade 28" M&F- DT.
Bill has his friends, and I have mine, and I guess never shall we meet, which is "Jake" with me- as I am not a serious clays shooter, as I surmise he is. I get my off-season shotgunning practice on area barn pigeons and crows, and I am just as happy and proficient with a 12 gauge Model 12 in hand as with any of my side-by-side guns: 1 Parker 12, 5 L.C. Smith 12's, 1 Ithaca NID 12 and 1 Utica Fox Sterly 20-- how many guns does any one man need nowadays-- we all know that after our demise, they will eventually fall into other hands, we are mere "custodians in the passing rush of time eternal"--RWTF
