I shot this VHE on skeet today and my scores went up dramatically. Quite satisfied with Mike's work.

Not a comment for the other posters, but tales of ruined barrels by gun butchers are rampant. If you have gotten good work from the gun butchers, congratulations.

Bill, have you had barrel work done on any of your Parkers? Any work of any kind on any of your Parkers?
Do you have a preferred gunsmith whose name you'd like to add or share?

Dewey Vicknair, Dan Rossiter and Larry Del Grego and Son are the only active gunsmiths who have worked on my Parkers. Dan Rossiter built my Becker themed Parker pigeon gun. Keith Kearcher did some heroic repairs to the two sets of barrels of a DH pigeon gun, but I have never had any choke work done in sixty years of Parker shooting and collecting.
