Smile The Barrells are back, woow boy!

The Christmas package I have been waiting for finally came - my barrels back from Brad, and wow! The Lady finally has a complete set of new clothes!

This G has been six years in the making, my stock work, case colors by a fellow down south, and finally Brad's refinish of the barrels.

That's very nice! Love the grain on that stock, it seems a bit nicer than normal for a G!

Post some more pics of the barrels!

Thanks Mills, and Charlie, not so much patient as it is having time to do or arrange it.

Brian, the case colors were done by Dan Printz, you can see more of his work at www.danthegunman.com. This is the second Parker he has done for me, and I like the results.

The barrels turned out better than I expected. It was actually the second try at refinish, the first gentlemen didn't get it right, very light and little contrast. Brad as is seen in everything else he does turned out superb!

That stock was a lucky internet buy, I think I paid $75 for the blank!

I have not heard of him. His colors on that Parker look pretty darn good!

Dan is a fantastic fellow. He color cased a Sterlingworth I was getting back together for my father-in-law. Former NC State Trooper, Marine, and all around solid guy. He frequents the Spring Southern SxS and would probably be happy to show others his work in person.
