The Barrells are back, woow boy!

The Christmas package I have been waiting for finally came - my barrels back from Brad, and wow! The Lady finally has a complete set of new clothes!

This G has been six years in the making, my stock work, case colors by a fellow down south, and finally Brad's refinish of the barrels. :)

Really well done!


:bowdown:

That's very nice! Love the grain on that stock, it seems a bit nicer than normal for a G!

Post some more pics of the barrels!

Did Schwartz color it?

Thanks Mills, and Charlie, not so much patient as it is having time to do or arrange it.

Brian, the case colors were done by Dan Printz, you can see more of his work at www.danthegunman.com. This is the second Parker he has done for me, and I like the results.

The barrels turned out better than I expected. It was actually the second try at refinish, the first gentlemen didn't get it right, very light and little contrast. Brad as is seen in everything else he does turned out superb!

That stock was a lucky internet buy, I think I paid $75 for the blank!

I have not heard of him. His colors on that Parker look pretty darn good!

Pretty darn good is right!

Dan is a fantastic fellow. He color cased a Sterlingworth I was getting back together for my father-in-law. Former NC State Trooper, Marine, and all around solid guy. He frequents the Spring Southern SxS and would probably be happy to show others his work in person.

Kevin, beautiful work all the way around. Brad has just finished re-stocking a VHE for me including case colors. I expect the gun to be shipped this coming week and will post pics accordingly. Awhile back, Brad refinished a Damascus GH for me and like yours the contrast was excellent. His workmanship is exceptional and great to do business with.

Brad has done a number of barrels, CCH on receivers, and stock work. I've always been completely satisfied.

Bill Holcombe 03-27-2017 12:18 PM

I am looking forward to getting mine back from him. The 1st treatment didn't meet his standards, so they are having to dip it a second time.

Bill Holcombe 05-04-2017 10:53 AM

Got the call this morning that they are heading back to me! Can't wait to get them!
