Well I think I did pretty well by almost making it four months without a purchase . However I walked in the shop Thursday sat down and got started loading some slightly lower pressure 12 gauge 0 buck loads for a friend to use in a Parker VH . While sitting there our youngster gunsmith asked me if I’d seen the Parker someone brought in Tuesday , I replied no what is it . He said 12 gauge Trogan which doesn’t exactly set me on fire . Then he says it’s a two barrel set in a case . So I walked out and looked at it . All numbers matched and the fonts looked the same which made me think it may have initially left the factory with both barrels . Gun also has a Miller single selective trigger , which isn’t a big selling point to me but some folks like them . I know the fellow that was selling it , I’d actually sold him the Browning Superposed 410 skeet gun I had . So I asked my gunsmith buddy to send him an offer , to be honest the price on it wasn’t bad but I’ve kinda gotten stingy in my old age lols ! Anyway he emailed the gentleman and a couple hours he responded in a positive way so I brought it home . The case that came with the gun says Edw. K Tryon which I’ve been told was a rather large sporting goods store in Philly . I was also informed that they were a rather large seller of Parker shotguns . As to the doctor I’ve not tried to figure out who he was or is . Suppose I oughtta order a Parker letter . Incidentally I failed to mention the barrels are 30” and 26” . With a Galazan flat choke gauge they show the 30” as M&F and the 26” as M&M . I checked the gun out on pine cones in the front yard Friday . Wanted to make sure the safety worked and that the gun didn’t double regardless of which barrel the trigger was set to fire first . And I might add it passed .
