To refinish or not.

[Elmer Wolochaty]

In my last entry under new members- Parker PH assessment- Jack & Erick pointing out some deficiencies of the unit and I'm greatfull to them.

My current question is- is this gun worth the effort of refinishing it as it stands today and would it be recommended or should one just leave it alone?

If so, does anyone have any information of any websites that one might look that could rovide some detailed proceedures as to the process? I'm not above a reasonable challenge, but wouldn't want to do further harm

Elmer: As a first guide, check this entry (http://parkerguns.org/pages/faq/When2Restore.htm) in FAQ's. I do not know of anyone in Canada doing full and proper restorations but there are a few in the US that are often mentioned on the forum. There is an awful lot of red tape to get a gun into the US. If you chose that route, be prepared for a lengthy process to have a great looking gun come home to you. Others can give you an idea of costs involved to "do it right".
Cheers,
Jack
