As of this past Wednesday I am on vacation till January 2nd 2013 “OOOO Yeah”
Parker girl 12 & I went for an awesome morning slow walk down a wooded trail.
Results, squirrel potpie for dinner.
Parker GH 12ga. #1 frame made in 1900 still taking game in 2012.
For you paper shell guys, this is my favorite currently made 12ga. ammo.
(and ‘YES’ it has that unforgettable paper shot shell smell)
The wood on the buttstock is really beautiful. Also looks like a new pad was fitted to it fairly recently.
I can't count the number of vintage guns, with great wood, I've seen, that have decomposing, falling apart recoil pads. I know it is not an expensive fix, and it has never stopped me from buying somthing. Just one of the things that grabs my attention.
But yours is just splendid.
If I had a few weeks to play with, I would even ask you if I could wak with you once or twice, with my plebian Remington Wingmaster.

Enjoy. I see you bag a few squirrels.

No, I think that recoil pad has been on there a very along long time.
This first picture was the Gun Broker listing picture of what the recoil
pad looked like when I bought it. It was oversized and bottom line ugly looking.
I spent about two + hours very carefully trimming it and cleaning it up.
What she looks like today after plenty of TLC and having the Damascus barrels refinished.

Yep I post on that forum once in a while, not to often though.
Forums seem to develop their own unique personality over time.
No two are exactly alike.
This forum is my all-time favorite.
