Two new Parker's

[Robert Delk]

I'm always of the mind that it is a great idea to take any collectible artifact that is not of "collector" quality and bring it back to some semblance of it's former self. When this is a Parker I would say that if the barrels are safe than go ahead and put some money into it if you like it and don't worry about getting your money back. The restoration work puts money back into the economy and a good gun is made better. I guarantee someone will thank all the people who had "bad" restorations made right sometime down the road.

Wendy, I bought an 1877 Lifter that was considered a wallhanger because the bores looked like sewer pipes! Brad Bachelder smoothed up the bores the best he could, while maintaining thickness, and refinished the exterior. Twist barrels are a sight to behold when restored! I doubt that I could ever recoup my expenditures, but I really love the gun, and, it is a great shooter. Cheers!
