update on C grade
Hi All,
After input from Gerald and others in this group, I decided to have the C grade restored. My guidelines for the restoration was to keep it all original. No new wood, etc... Because the gun conformed to the Parker Letter, I didn't want to change any components. The pictures earlier in this post will provide you a "before" condition. With the conditions of the barrels prior to restoration I would have never considered firing this Parker. I can tell you now it has been fired, and what a wonderful treat it was. Some may disagree, but my enjoyment of owning this ole classic shotgun has gone up exponentially. From a closet gun to a working Parker!! Please excuse my camera quality, but taking photos of small defined objects is not my strong suit. Please feel free to post comments pro or con. This is how we learn as a group.
