A couple of years ago I sent Brian a Parker VH 16 Gauge on a 0 Frame with a stock that was a basket case. Cracked at the wrist with a very poorly fitted replacement over sized butt plate. The finish on the stock was all but gone. When he sent the gun back to me I could not believe my eyes. He had fixed the stock, re-fashioned the butt and installed a perfectly fitting butt-plate, gently re-cut the checkering and put a nice, what i call a "hunter finish" on the stock leaving some marks that were there. The gun looked "right" in every respect.
