Unfortunately , the Rice Patty sold last year,went up 20% on their prices and cut their wine glass size in half! UGG! Try River Room or Portifinios
David

PS I live in Georgetown

I will surely try them have not had good shrimp and grits since my mother passed12years ago, Gary

Gary
The shrimp and grits at River Room is outstanding!! If you really like it, I hear Mark Conrad has the receit
David

Receit is southern for recipe y'all

Russ, it's a two hour trip over to Brads . He showed me some barrels being done but no 28ga.

That is bad news. My wife and I love that place. We will try River Room or Portifino's. We are having the same problem down in Savannah with all of our old favorites closing or having bad changes. :crying:

Andy, I noticed your post was sort of forgotten about regarding which side won the Civil War. I would love to answer it by saying the Northern Aggressors did win as they should have but in the end the United States of America won that war. Thank God for A. Lincoln.

"Save your old Confederate money 'cause the South's gwine to rise agin" If you don't believe it just take a look at Atlanta.

Best Regards, George

Atlanta is not the South.

By the way, what was this thread supposed to be about?

Pork Chops and collards, good whiskey and an occasional look at a a Parker restoration. Damn, life is good!

Drew,

Great pictorial of a re-sleeve job, Thanks for posting it !!

But this is a different process than a bore re-lining which was done to the featured gun in this thread.

Does anyone know if barrel lining is still available? What happened to Teague?

Drew, Who did the work on the first set of barrels, the set that was tig welded? Excellent job.

Spoken as a true Savannahonian, BTW Mills is that great old bording house still in business in Savannah. The name escapes me but was it : Mrs.-----? Great food served family style.

P.S. I believe that the thread originally had something to do with Parker shotguns and Brad Bachelder restoring them.

Best Regards, George:bigbye:

Mrs. Wilkes . . . yes it is. Have not been there recently, but it is good. Paula Deen is overrated.

Dennis in another life you must have been a diplomat since I find your comments well intentioned but perhaps insensitive to those of us who still believe in the lost cause. I know the Gettysburg address has become part of the American iconography but to me it will always be Picketts charge that pulls at my heart.
I think Parker shotguns, appreciation of history, and love of this great country are very much intertwined. Thank you Dennis.

Paul ,Thanks for the reply ,I know Brad has been working barrels at the present ,I am having my 28 Case Colored , a new Pad fit wood refinish etc. , I would have never done anything to a gun such as this except ,it had already been Recased and wore a Kerrs of Beverly Hills Pad , Brad is fitting an correct Original Period Spurred Pad which I am certain will be much nicer ! Just figured If you happened to have a tour of Brads shop or a look around since we are all PGCA Members ,Brad might have given you a look at some of the other Parkers in house ! Best ; Russ

I became a confederate sympathizer during the Clinton years and remain one today :)

Steve Bertram became the US representative of Teague barrel lining about 2010, but it's my understanding that there were problems with bonding the liner to original barrel and the service is no longer offered http://www.teagueprecisionchokesltd.co.uk/index.html

Oh I've toured the shop and looked at many fine guns he's working on but anymore he gets chewed out for a 10 minute lunch and claims he's " grounded " till he gets a little more caught up with work. And seeing how he's working on my gun also I don't like to take up too much of his time just talking.

And if you had the intestinal fortitude to watch "Slick Willie" and his friend on the tube last night you might also be wondering what all those nice looking people in the audience thinking? For me, I'm at a loss.

Best Regards, George:banghead:

Thanks Mills, Next time I'm down that way I'll be sure to stop in. BTW is The Pirate House still in businnes & how would you rate it now?

Just Wondering, George

The Pirate's House is still in business. It is ok - not too good and not too bad. Savannah does not really have a great seafood place anymore. It is more like some of the better restaurants have good seafood entrees. Sundae Cafe on Tybee Island is one of the best.

Super Parker Bruce!!!!!!!!! Its nice to see the quality work Brad does!!!!!!

Thanks Ken. This one belongs to a close friend. I have another little 16 ga CHE that he will do next. That one is a particularly nice C and deserves some restoration.

I have a set of these tubes, somewhere I think. Mine are 16ga tubes that fit a 12ga barrel.
Boy does it add weight.

Bruce is that 20 barrel heavy?

Andy, go over to the off topic site I want to tell you something about Pickets charge

Mills: There used to be a great seafood place on Thunderbolt but I can't remember the name of it. It was right on the docks.

Best Regards, George

That is a neet gun I would like to have with thoes liners. Looks like Brad got the barrels and the top of the receiver flush again. Looked like the barrels were a little low in before picture maybe not??? Can't wate to see your CHE when he is done. I didn't remember you said is was a 16 very cool.

Teples seafood
 

Teeples Seafood Restaurant was one of my favorite places on Tybee, do not know if they are still in bussiness.

Brad is a great guy. Everything he's done for me has been top shelf, on time, and as discussed. Wouldn't send my guns to anyone else... and he ain't exactly close to Oregon.

It's been a bad weekend. Yesterday I drove the new zero turn lawnmower in my pond. It'll be ok - drained everything and fired it up. Today on my second shot at SC's my C grade 1894 Remington broke in half at the wrist. I've always been very carefull with it being my most expensive gun - never dropped or hit it against anything. If it was any of my other guns I'd put it back togeather myself. Even the trigger guard broke where it screws into the receiver. I took a shot and was standing there with the stock in one hand and the rest in the other. Broke right behind the tangs. Finished with Daves gun. Oh well, looks like Brad gets this one when I pick up a couple of others he has of mine.

who have you made mad that would wish such bad luck on you PAUL.my remington 94 done the same thing a few years back hunting doves.does make a person feel bad..had to laugh at the lawn mower trick... charlie

I had an LC Smith two barrel set matching serial no . Don't remember the grade but fired only one round (bp at that) and it split right down the rist into the but stock. Made me sick. I guess all stocks can dry out.

Charlie, I have three other 1894s and all are quite thin at the wrist. Maybe this is why Parker put rods in the stock. Sure wish Remington had done the same. Would have saved me some money.

Your to old to drink and mow the lawn at the same time:nono:

Wish I would have thought of that. Next time I'll just drink.
