After reading this board a few weeks it appears the above statement regarding looking at a LOT of Parkers is the gospel. That, and arming yourself with as much information as possible. I have a serialization book, and I just ordered both volumes of The Parker Story from DGJ. They still have blemished sets for $195. My favorite tool is an inside dial caliper bore gauge with long legs that I picked up on eBay for $50. I can measure the length of the choke and the constriction pretty accurately. With those tools I feel I can at least walk away with a pretty comfortable feeling regarding the barrels, but fit, finish, checkering and the rest? While I don't wish I were older, I do wish I had more experience. I'm hopeful my soon to arrive copies of The Parker Story will shorten the learning curve on the rest of the details.
