Hopefully, we will witness the progress of this gun as it nears completion. There's nothing there that can't be addressed as long as the barrels are still 30" long. I have had worse. My 18" barrel BH 10 with no stock is an example. My two barrel CH Bernard with no stock and no receiver is another. Don't give up.

I bid up to what I thought was reasonable considering work needed but let it go

Good luck with the c. My first Parker was a che and got me hooked on Parkers. Bernard barrels are so cool it will be a worthy restoration if it can be accomplished. I found mine at a small auction and the Bernard barrels scared off all the other bidders. Can't wait to see pictures.

If good, I'd think the barrels are worth that much?

Well Tom now I do not feel so bad. Especially if you post a lot of good quality after restoration pictures. My Bernard C is somewhere out there I just have to find it.

Eldon there is another CHE on gun broker that has trodgen barrels and been restocked for 1500.00. I just saw it this evening and If memory serves that is a buy me now price. It is on the 4th or 5th page.

WOW - trodgen barrels!... Quick - what's the GB number so I can place a bid?

Looks like my spell check failed me.

Somebody must have hit the buy me now button its no longer listed.

That particular C Grade has been on GB for some time ,I remember the Gentleman asking questions on our site about the gun before it was listed ! I don't remember who it was or even if he was a PGCA member or a visitor to the site , a nice looking gun just not original !:)
