By the way Dean, I don't touch guns with original finish. I might refresh a stock if it has bare spots or thinning finish or do a light touch on the checkering. I enjoy working on Parkers so what I do is look for guns that were cared for but have no remaining original finish with checkering sometimes worn off. I don't mind less than perfect screws because they are relatively easy to replace and time. My philosophy is different than many who want their guns to look like new, but we all have our preferences
