great way to start a day
 

This is my first post on the forum. I have begun repair/restore on another beautiful old Parker. I have built many rifles but only last year started working on shotguns. I have built custom stocks for many years for love and learning for myself and some of my closest friends. A Parker shotgun rapidly becomes your first love when looked at for it's machining and woodwork. An amazing tool that brings back a longing for the old "American" way of doing things. I have begun repairs to an 1892 Parker GH that has seen some less than gentle handling. The wear plate may need some enhancement but I am analyzing the issues for a while. This will be a labor of love. :)

Welcome aboard, GH's are a great gun to start on. Dave

It is a GHE and now that the heat and alcohol have revealed a decent piece of wood, I have to decide if I need to do a better repair on the wrist than was done many years ago.

Welcome Chris. If you ever have any technical questions on your Parker, just ask. Most any of us will be willing to help.

Thanks to all for the help, opinions and ideas. I am a passionate Parker owner and shooter.

WELCOME CHRIS glad we got another wood man to talk to..im just a dabbler myself in wood...youve got some great people here to get help from or maybe you can help somebody like me...anyway wecome... charlie

thanks Charlie, I have been a wood butcher for many years but have had a deep passion for gunstocks due to the beautiful, functional art they represent. I have built a number of early American KY longrifles (rev war era) but my passion encompasses old doubles the most. Hope we all grow together. Again thanks to all.
