Parker's and Winchester 21's This is where I came up with the idea of The Emperor has no clothes!

My wife asked me why I had used that title. I answered that there is a popular view that these ugly plain guns are the cats meow. The one in the picture is valued at almost 10,000.00 !!! WHAT? Plain wood, hardly any engraving and machine produced by the thousands. I know, I know everyone talks about them saying "they are built like tanks", "it will last forever" so.. Have you, and I mean you , ever actually worn out a gun? 

I have felt like the boy in the story that proclaimed "the Emperor has no clothes" When I talk about guns at the club or at shows I find lots of sheep that follow popular opinion about what is valuable. 

Are you kidding me?  Just because advertisers tell us it's the best, or worth "x" amount. We need to be the informed and make that judgement call. I tear apart guns and look inside, and I am going to show you through this blog what I am talking about. There are a lot of seriously under valued guns out there. Lets look at the differences. Below IS a 10,000.00 gun all the hours to engrave and great wood justify the price.
