http://parkerguns.org/forums/showthread.php?t=12362 -about the two guns I bought , a DH 12ga and a GH 12 ga, both pretty rough. I was concerned that the barrel damage on the DH was not repairable, but Brad Bachelder called me today (super nice guy, first time I talked to him) and said he could fix them. So he'll fix them and refinish them. Since the gun needs a new stock, the original is butchered beyond repair, I've decided to go the full Monty on the DH and restore this gun. Brian Dudley will restock it and I will send the receiver to Brad for case coloring. Stay tuned for pictures in a while.
I'm pretty excited , this will be my first really "fine" vintage double. My 16 VHE is nice, and I've got a LC smith field which I also really like, those are nice guns , but this is another level.
