I'm a shooter/kinda collector. I have several Parkers that I have done work on or had it done if beyond me. As I'm only a custodian of these guns, they'll outlive me, I consider this as maintenance. A proper rust blue re-do on barrels or proper re-case color is simply maintenance and protecting the gun for the generations down the line I hope will enjoy them as much as I do. My labs are gonna shake water on them, I'm gonna get hot and sweaty in the dove field and handle them and no matter how careful I am there will be an occasional scratch on a stock or fore end.
