Purchased another Duck-Goose killer last week and it arrived today .
Guns not perfect by any stretch but it is a little rareish in the fact that it's a 12 gauge Parker VH built on the #3 frame which is considered the standard 10 gauge frame most 12's were on 1 , 1 1/2 or 2 frames . I have a pair of DH Parker 12's already on 3 frames one with factory original fluid steel 28" flat rib barrels which is even more rare and a DH 32" damascus thats pre 1898 .
Anyway this new gun with 32" fluid steel barrels and more modern stock dimensions should make a fair to middlin waterfowl/turkey gun . Now the kicker is I've never fired a shot at a duck and the times I go goosin i carry a double 10 . As to turkey the war between turkey's and myself ended years ago , thats not to say I won't kill one if the oppurtunity presents itself I just don't have the desire to pursue them expressly .
Anyway here are a couple pics of the gun . I didn't take these but rather they were sent to me before I purchased it .

Re: Duck/Goose killer
Congratulations again!! I'm always relieved and happy to see Parker's that escaped being sent over the pond to be re sleeved by Westley Richards,
If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.
Re: Duck/Goose killer
This ones fluid steel ! But I do have an LC Smith field grade that has Westley Richards sleeved barrels now . Gun was broken in the wrist so the guy that used to own it wrapped the wrist with copper wire and some popsicle sticks as kinda splints I supposed then slathered with epoxy . This was done atleast forty years ago as I’ve had the gun for over thirty years . Rather hideous looking but that LC Smith points and shoots quite well when I’m steering it so I’ve never bothered to try and make it look better .gamekeeper wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 3:27 pm Congratulations again!!

Re: Duck/Goose killer
I shot that bad boy at 5-stand last evening at my local club . The gun is choked tight no doubt , but it certainly rolled up targets at a fair distance . Of course there were some close that the driver didn’t steer correctly for , but all in all this one just might be my new to me sporting clays crusher . This is a distinct problem with having TO MANY you really like and shoot relatively well , you can’t shoot them ALL - ALL THE TIME .

Re: Duck/Goose killer
Looks pretty good. A little honest wear is perfectly acceptable on a nicely made gun.

Re: Duck/Goose killer
I’m still thinking about the breaks I was getting at 40+ yards with this gun . Now breaks at that distance and further don’t amaze me as such , but with this gun I was making powder puffs out of them that far out .

Re: Duck/Goose killer
I just looked back at the info the seller gave me on the gun before I decided to buy and he measured the gun with 36 points of constriction in each barrel , that’s pretty much extra full .
