It started with the Safety doesn't work......./
 

I found myself talking to dealer at a show who had some outstanding elk stag grips I thought my set of Rugers should wear - one thing lead to another and the topic of Parkers, etc came up. He had a gun, from another dealer that the safety didn't work on, and it needed parts, the safety stirrup and likely the push pin.
But he didn't have the gun with him. I volunteered I could make those, and a trade was struck.

So a week later at the next show he had the gun, which I took apart having my tools with me. The parts were all there, but the stock clearly was not!
So plan B, we repair the stock and attempt to dress it up a bit. The barrels had been cut by about 1 1/4", Butt toe repaired and the plate was broken repaired. As it was viewed as a shooter, we were asked to just fix the break and checker the butt, which someone had done a pocket knife job on.

After glassing in the plug, and inletting to the action, and removing the screw and plugging the holes
The stock was checkered and refinished.



What I plan on doing more of once retired.
