I beat Eightbore to the pawn shop down by the Capitol in DC by a year. I bought a Darne, top grade 16 ga for $125 with a broken firing pin. Sent the sliding action to the factory and they repaired it and gave me the history of the gun. After that Eightbore passed me by at about 110 MPH and never slowed down. I, on the other hand, didn't buy a Parker untill a few years ago. I wish I'd known him back then as I would have probably tried to keep up. Not a chance now, but I'm not complaining, just jealous!
