Well I have heard it all.By the thickness of the barrels the gun is most likely a 28 bore, a gun with the valve in the 5 k range +/-. A half ass method of repair will effect it's resale value/looks . WE are forgetting one important fact---Parker / Remington retained Conn. Shotgun Mfg Co. to make 28 bore A grade guns a few years ago, I have personally seen draws full of Parker parts that Tony has in his Co.
If my assumption is correct,it being a 28, a doll's head extension ,screw,plate', ears on ejectors restored, & properly cleaned-oiled, & repaired----the gun will maintain it's looks & value.
That is my solution to the problem.
