I have to agree with Greg. This would not be a financial rewarding project.
I had an initial interest in doing it, but believe I could purchase a nice all original
CHE 20ga 30" at pretty close to what this would cost to have a Bachelder or Turnbill restoration. In my experience a restored C grade Parker sells at a significant discount to a decent original. I have seen projects like this take 3-5 years. I did not make an offer for the parts , am no longer interested, but $1,000-$1,200 would not be a steal.JMHO
