George,
You really hit on something there.
I had briefly considered having the Parker completely restored. After spending an hour or so on this board, I realized that every scratch and all of the wear on this gun came from good times spent with this gun by everyone before me.
My son has already fallen in love with the looks and feel of the Parker.
I would love to have another one but that's just too much $$$ for me right now.
The biggest thing I worry about is damaging this gun in some way or another. After all, it can't be replaced.
I have probably only shot it maybe 20 times.
Dumb question...
Is it OK to shoot 2-3/4" shells or do I need to buy special shells or have the chamber reamed ?
Let me know.
Thanks !
Chris
