Amazing GH Restorers
 
5 Attachment(s)
I just got my 123 year old "fish tail" lever GH 12 back from 2 of the most professional craftsmen I've found over the years. When I bought it earlier this year, the Damascus barrels were BLUED, a stock split at the head had been fixed rather crudely and the checkering was worn and there were two dings in the left barrel. But the engraving was sharp, the wood was high grade and I felt it was worth refinishing. With the help of fellow PCGA members on this forum I found the guys to do it. Clint Meier of CGM took the action apart, sonic cleaned it, cleaned up the dinged receiver screws, epoxied the stock and pinned it almost invisibly, totally recheckered everything and put a spectacular lustrous finish on the stock and fore end that looks factory new. Buck Hamlin brought the 30" full choke 2 1/2 chambered barrels back to their amazing Damascus glory. I would highly recommend these two master gunsmiths for any Parker work.

A very well done refreshment. And may God bless you for not "restoring" the colour case!
