Many thanks to all for your help on this thread! Dave Fjelline completed the needed work on my Parker and it is wonderful shooting condition now - so very glad. He was incredible.
Quick question - is re-bluing the gun barrels something that forum members would recommend doing to this older 1901 model? If so, I would send it back to Dave to do it. Granted, my gun is one of the lower grade Parkers so resell value isn't the main driver in this case, but I'm unsure if rebluing the barrels and steel is a death sentence for a Parker or not. It would probably look nicer with it, but maybe old and uneven steel coloring is a better kind of beautiful on a Parker. Any thoughts?
