"Off his 6"- read you "Charlie-Lima" George. EDM has carried the torch for the Parker fans for years, he apparently has spent a great deal of time and effort in his research and the books he has written prove that. I am fond of most all American doubles, and extremely fond of Model 12's- I shoot L.C. Smith 12 gauge guns mainly, for one simple reason- like my M12's- they work quite well for me and I like their looks and "in-hands" feel--BUT I wouldn't say they are the best ever made, I'm not that "into" double guns for that- also where I live and get around, I seem to find more 12 gauge Smiths at reasonable prices than other American makes-IMO both Parker Bros. with their Trojan economy model and Hunter Arms with the Fulton economy model had the right idea, but the Fox Sterlingworth had the same fine receiver lines as the graded Foxes, and would be well worth owning, ditto the Ithaca NID field grade. If I were a small gauge fan, I wouldn't own the number of shotguns I do at present, curious- because back in 1921 if you went to VL&A and ordered a DHE 12 gauge with two triggers, and your brother ordered also a DHE 20 with two triggers, you both paid the same price-supply and demand, a force majeure indeed!!
