Gunsmithing

[MarkCrider]

I am in Walla Walla, WA and have a Parker I picked up awhile back. The gunsmith I took it to was well regarded but he kept it for over a year and is now telling me he is retiring and didn't touch it. I have a 12 Gauge on a 1 1/2 frame, it is a 2 or G grade with ejectors. It also has an english stock which I am not sure is original. I am looking for someone to go through the gun and make sure it is in good working order so I can use it for hunting. Any recommendations for a reliable, reasonable and competent gunsmith nearby?

I suggest you got to www.parkerguns.org and on the left side of the page click on the FAQ link. I think the very first item on the FAQ list may help you.

Mark, I have had experience with several gunsmiths like yours.

[Scott Janowski]

You will more than likely have to ship the gun to one of the gunsmiths listed on the site.

Mark, I'm sorry to learn you were treated so poorly. I hope you get it sorted sooner than later.

Mark, I live in Yakima, WA. Know a couple of gunsmiths who could help you, pm me or call Brian Brubaker, Yakima, WA(912)659 4505. This is not a WA number, don't know why he hasen't gotten another number, but he did a fine job on my GH, and done a lot of work on a friend's English guns.
