The gun that started the madness
In February 2012 I bought this hammer gun which turned me into a Parker guy. The metal was in the white and ready for refinish with clean screws and a good butt stock. After a few recommendations I set the gun to Brad Bachelder for refinish, the forearm was replaced, the butt plate was replaced, a few rough spots were micro welded and the engraving retouched. The barrel set on it was in 20 gauge which was the original mono block sleeved to 26" so Brad found and added a set of 16 gauge 28" twist barrels pictured. I picked the gun up last Monday and below are a few pictures.
It is a high quality restoration and it shoots like a dream.

Very nicely done! Just as expected from Bachelder's shop.
