If I am going to shoot a Parker more than twice. The first thing I do is have a good stock person glass bed the stock and install a staple in the head of the stock. At this point I shoot what ever I want. I check and clean the gun often, lube the hinge pin and in 50 or so years the next guy can go right on shooting the old Parker. He can do so with what ever his shot shell religion dictates.
