Quality C
 

Top action with Bernard barrels.

Been off for a while. Took my 14th group of Boy Scouts to Philmont. GPS shows we walked 150 miles in 12 days.

Posting these photos to create and maintain interest in Parkers. This is a Quality C gun, not B, but the program will not let me correct the title.

Fabulous wood Bruce - Thanks!!

Thank you. I was having severe withdrawal from you not posting pics of incredible Parker's.

Bruce, has the stock had streak treatment? just wondering, gary

I was wrong after looking at it closer it is a fine piece of walnut! Gary

Few More of the C Bernard
 

streaky thinshell walnut.

There has been a little stock restoration work. See which is more appealing.

Beautiful gun Bruce ,that blank is a real eye catcher

This is my new ptarmigan gun....(-:

Which is nicer - before or after??

There's little question that the 'after' picture illustrates very nicely what a proper restoration can do for the wood on guns that, even through the grime and wear of a century, show the promise of "something in there that begs to come out."

With out question in my opinion, the after, it is the same wood just brought back to its original glory, restoration done right as this example shows, is just like washing a car get the dirt and grime off so it looks like it supposed too! Again just my two cents, and you all know what opinions are like, every body has one, Gary
