When I first got into this game I wanted nothing more than to own a Parker. At the time I couldn't afford a decent one and ended up buying a 16 vh that was just slightly off face. The price reflected that which put it within my grasp. I shot that gun "as was" for a season and then someone mentioned to me I should take it to Bachelder. He worked with me to accommodate my budget and when I got the gun back from him it had the most pleasant singing ring when I would snap it shut. I wish I still had that gun. Thanks Brad.
