Not a jet jockey like Col. Day- wanted to be one- still would like to meet Gen. yeager, wanted to meet Chuck heston too- but that's no longer an option. Don't give up- you care to send me a private message through this forum with a PO Box or mailable address and I'll shoot you a copy of last Falls (2008) issue of Parker Pages-I think we have the best magazine of any gun group going- and not just because our Editor was kind enough to run a article I wrote- I'm no writer- but if you want a 1903 accurized or a Timney trigger put into your M40, I'm your guy-

I bought a Porject Parker in pieces about a year ago- just for fun- I bought a GHE 12 gauge receiver (No. 2 frame) and matching ejector forearm- had friend and Master Gunsmith Brad Bachelder fit a set of VH 28" barrels, make ejectors and he found a used GH pistol grip stock that had a crack at the wrist- which he repaired and fitted to the gun- the article has fotos and more details-

Long story short- try him- I've seen some distressed rifle and shotgun stocks he has repaired, he may also have a buttstock that can be fitted to your Parker and make it shootable again- I can't tell you the cost, but it might be worth checking into- Brad Bacheler e-mail bachelderfirearm@aol.com phone 1-616-459-3636. Brad is a member of the PGCA, has been a gunsmith for 30 years in Kent Co. Michigan and is one of many qualified gunsmiths known to us "Parkerites" as a master craftsman- his work is top shelf-- Semper Fi Gyrene- and lock and Load a cold Coors for me too!!
