Bruce,

Are you by chance being sarcastic at all in your original question about restoring this gun?

Brian, yes is the answer. For some reason, Bruce is a war with the website and its posters again. I must say that the pictures are great.

I saw a GH over in Cabela's (Owatonna MN) yesterday that makes this one look new old stock. Brutally ugly and they wanted $895 with a very straight face. Scarey out there.

There is half (no barrels) a GH on Ebay that is supremely ugly for close to $1000

Bruce,

If you paid $1.00 for the gun, you'd lose money on the restoration. Part it out.

if gun is a shooter, redo the wood and pad and shoot it!

Bruce, I think you know me , If there is a chance to save a Parker, I will do it. No matter how lowly it is worth any effort to make it the best it can be. There will never be any more. Economics, Right, Not an issue. I don't restore guns simply for the sake of investment. To part out an intact gun due to grade or condition is nothing short of sacralige. Actually I would chrome plate it, gold the triggers, beavertail the forearm and install a rollover California style buttstock. Just Kidding obdviously I would lose money restoring it rather than wreck it. Just my opinion.

Brad, I tried to get rid of this gun before with all the fellows here who talked about how every Parker was worth saving, etc, no interest from any of them, yada, yada, yada. Its gone now.

I've saved some Parkers before and helped others save guns and likely will again but I will only for rare ones. I'll be calling you soon on an extra special Parker that needs some help.

Guys ,
I think some need to do some serious reading and not just this post. I think some have no idea what this is about and I really dont like to see whats happening !!JMHO

In my opinion I would have it restocked and recase color the frame not reblue it. You probably already knew that though. Then I would enjoy it and shoot the daylights out of it.
