It will benefit you greatly in the long run.

Brian gives timeless advice on the subject of working on Parkers - not only to the gentleman he addressed his advice to, but to ALL gunsmiths who wish to work on Parkers. Remember "Do no harm to a Parker shotgun." no matter how well-intentioned your work is.
