No argument here. I came unto a triple-proofed Charlin by this exact route: 1400 in the fuzzy precincts of Thadworld; 800 from GB with no competition. If those barrels and that case color residue could be found on a Parker, most here would be falling down in adoration. Skeet can be relied on to wring those little problems out of an old gun. The Charlin has never failed on several 100 rnd. Sunday mornings; some of that ammo was not the DietLite that I reload and the darn[e] thing fits and hits. I also have a bargain Uggie 221 with very few miles and an AyA numba 2 which arrived with a very sketchy left side trigger and sear since corrected at small expense and some sweat equity. Some of us have attempted the Eurogun tour on "five dollars a day" and have possibly suffered no worse disappointment than have those who pursue the American "shooter".
