I was going to say: "Oh my gosh, you bought Elizabeth Taylor???"

Then I found out she was born in London...

Okay these guesses are getting strange,

So a clue or two till my new baby arrives in a week or so.
She’s sweet, 16 and under 6 lbs. and will be considered OT in this forum.

But She could have been made in the U.S.A.

I have this nagging suspicion that it's a Purdy double in 16 bore!!!

I don't think a Browning Auto 5 would be under 6 lbs...

Which would be "bigger than a breadbox" Mr. Stahle!

encore4me · Post by **encore4me** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 7:30 am

The Browning would have been made in Belgum.

Mike, your resolution was NOT to buy it???

My actual resolution was not to buy any guns in 2011.
Not only did I make the purchase within 3 weeks of the
new year, it's

also the most I ever paid for a gun.

My guess, Winchester 21 in 16 gauge? Purdy would be made in England.

I think a Winchester 21 would be too heavy.
My guess would be a Parker 16 built on a 20 gauge frame???????

Sorry, you broke your resolution, but what a way to go out.

My justification for breaking it:
You only turn 50 once, and dang it yeah just got to have something
to remember it by. Safer than jumping out of an airplane like I was
thinking about doing (very briefly that is

)

I was thinking Parker, yep I was. But I had no idee that They built 16s on a 20 gauge frame.

Btw Cass, did U see My Post about a 20 ga Miller Eichstaett ? Can't remember what I did for My 50th but I can Guarrentee it wasn't jumping out of an Airplane.

Rusty · Post by **Rusty** » Sat Jan 15, 2011 12:36 am

Dang it, I could have had a Parker when I turned 50.... stupid me asked for a Mont Blanc.

Parker didn’t build very many of these 0 frame 16’s and so
explains why there so blasted expensive. And me being me,
just felt it necessary to have one…

No pwl44m, I didn't see the post about the 20 ga. Miller Eichstaett. I'm interested, I will look for it

Thats a real sweet look'n shotgun.....
betcha cant wait to take it afield.....
and make it earn its keep....
God that brings back some memories...my Dad and I went to a gun shop
in New England somewhere....and this place had a bunch of parkers...
and a lot of trophies.....and one trophy stands out in my mind...
a 9' grizzly.....
But to a kid.....a parker was just another shotgun....
now i wish my Dad bought a parker...instead of the Beretta...
Still got the Beretta though...

Hope you enjoy it!

Now that's really something to break your resolution over. Good job. Beautiful piece. Love those old SXS's.

Why in Heaven's name would you make a silly resolution like that? I simply could not go a year without buying a firearm. I have enough trouble skipping a month sometimes when my next must have has to be saved for-heck my palms get itchy. My wife thinks I have a problem-problem? I no got no stinking problem, I'm investing.
