You need to shrink the file to 60%

Hi,
Thank you for the suggestion. I am working on having the pictures reduced as I shot them in high resolution. I will try to upload the pictures this weekend. The attached link shows the original condition of the shotgun. http://www.sitemason.com/page/hsMgPC |

Mervyn,
That is an absolutly beautiful small bore Parker. That being said I bet I'm not alone in thinking that if I owned that gun I wouldn't do anything to it but shoot the heck out of it. I'm sure the craftsmen you mentioned did a great job and I look forward to seeing the after photo's. |

I agree with everyone, what part do you want to restore, it's a great looking Parker.

Wow. Agreed also. Other than dismantling and cleaning, I wouldn't touch it. Not many are in that shape. Doesn't appear to have been used much.

I agree with the rest of the boy's. Leave it alone and warm it up as often as you can....

Parker 20ga GH pictures
Hi,
Thanks for all the comments about the Parker. Hope you all feel the same way when you see the restoration. The original pictures are a little deceiving. The head of the stock was saturated with oil. The stock was dished out on one side near the butt plate. The action metal work looked like it was cleaned with a scaring pad. When Dale inspected the barrels he thought that the outside of the barrels including the rib may have been cleaned with naval jelly. The machining on the top rib appeared to be etched and not crisp. I love the end result and think that Bud, Dale, and Turnbull Restoration did a fantastic job. BTW, I have the PGCA letter.It shows that the shotgun was sent back to Parker for restocking in 1902. I was surprised to see how much figure was present after it was refinished. |
