Jerry, I received your message and will reply here.
Bruce Day had me confused with Chuck Brunner the owner of Greenes Guns. I have had no personal contact with Chuck Brunner however I can tell you he sells many Parkers and I've never heard of a negative comment concerning him.
As far as refinishing your repro, why not do it yourself? The hardest part is getting the old finish off and there are many replies as to how to do this. You could refinish with shellac/oil like the original Parkers, or you could use Custom Pro Oil (l like it), or True Oil, or any other product mentioned for refinishing your stock.
If I were to have my stock bent, I would use Craig Libhart of Susquehanna Stockworks or Dewey Vicknair of Vicknair Restorations, both in southern Pa.
P.S. Both Dewey and Craig usually show up at the Central Pa Fun Shoot in Harrisburg scheduled for May 15th. See the post under events for details. Come on up and have some fun!
Good luck,
Chuck Bishop
