Nice to know you're not alone in the world, it would be interesting to know just how many were configured in a like manner. I have collected and traded off or sold a number of good Pre 64 Model 70's, "The Rifleman's Rifle" by Roger Rule was such a help and so informative but only possible because of factory records being available.

The Stamps fit perfectly and we had a Wonderful Afternoon visiting with Larry ! Although it was a 7 1/2 hour drive each way for us ,I was glad we made the trip and we were never treated nicer at any place of business ! Congrats. !!!!!! on a Beautiful Gun !

Great story Russ. Kevin McCormack wrote a series of excellent articles about the DelGrego shop authenticating and restoring Parkers back in the Winter 1996/ Spring 1997 issues of DGJ.
