Steven,
I purchased a parker vh 16 gauge that has been restored, 26" barrels, its the perfect grouse gun. Every time I take it out, my dog goes on point in the gnarliest thickest patch of woods a bird can find to hide in I purchased an older fox 16 gauge with 26" barrels that is original condition. That fox is in such good original condition that a well known gun shop said it was worth more than the parker that had been restored. For some reason its easier to carry the original fox than the shiny restored parker. Maybe I will change in the years to come, but that parker just looks new, I love both guns. I hope some day I can carry that parker just like I do the fox into the thick stuff. Congratulations on that gun, it came out nice.

Someone carried them when they were new, carrying them after a refinish is just a continuation of the story.....

That and there is no tomorrow guarantee....

Gun turned out well. With limited work done to it, appears the wise choice.

Harry,
Just to show you I pay attention in here to all this good advice. Thats my parker vh 16 gauge that was refinished. Today Cash had 4 points in about 45 minutes. Two birds held, I have not been doing well this year on grouse. The parker is going to go out more often now.

It looks reallly clean and appears to have been taken care of. Even the screws look almost perfect.

I would not be embarrassed to accompany her to the field.
