I just found this thread. I am doing EXACTLY the same thing as you, Paul. I bought a real beater of a VH for $230 and am using it to learn about the guns. Steps completed so far:
- Disassembled the receiver to the level described by Brian Dudley. Ultrasonically cleaned and walnut tumbled the Trigger plate and triggers. Parts still are highly mottled, so next steps are to try polishing the parts.
- Bought a nice book on engraving
- Read almost all the posts under "Parker Restorations". Yet I persist...
