Bird Dog:
Don't let anyone make you feel less than proud of that Parker. Its overall condition is very good. The wood is wonderful. The gun has been cared for. The barrel dent is very minor and easy to correct. The cut barrels can be finished correctly. Yes, they reduce collector value somewhaqt... but you're not a collector. You have a very fine DH to shoot and enjoy, and in the great scheme of Parkers, there aren't that many DH guns. Be glad you own it!

And... it's my bet that it will be worth exactly what a Parker fan is willing to pay for a nice DH in the future

Thanks Sam. I agree Cabelas offer was fair considering they are a seller. It did give me a good idea of the estimated retail value. I am not looking to sell, just didn't really know what I had. I had the gun looked at yesterday by another PGCA member and it was confirmed in very good overall shape. With the 2" taken off the barrells, they were measured and are now IC vs the original Full choke. I am going to have the small dent fixed, the keel plugged and enjoy the gun. Thanks for all who responsed to my post.

Thanks Kensal! I plan to shoot it in the next week or so at a sporting clay site. As the choke is now IC, I guess I have lost an excuse that the full/full choke pattern is too tight :-)

With the more open chokes, you will find that you have a great shooting gun there.

"Great shooting" = more forgiving.

would suggest you contact del grego in illion, ny for repair and refinish work. they are considered by many to be the best parker gunsmiths in the world. and what ever you have them do, keep the receipts, as they will be very valuable come resale time.

A friend just had a repro receiver/stock returned after some minor work at Del Gregos. The gun was misassembled, and wouldn't allow the barrels to be assembled to the gun. They wanted him to ship the gun back to correct the problem, and pay shipping both ways.
