Default My new Steel Shot Special
Well I went down the "rabbit hole" and purchased my first Parker Reproduction, a Steel Shot Special that was advertised here by fellow member Joel Hackett. This gun was sent to Brian Dudley to have the stock refinished with a Parker Oil finish and the checkering recut to match original parker checkering, engraving recut by master engraver Geoffory Gournet, barrels refinished by Turnbull and bone and charcoal case coloring by Turnbull. Nitro bluing was done by Brian Dudley also. Gun has double triggers and 28" barrels. To say I am pleased is an understatement. The quality of the work done by Brian and company is beyond belief. Shout out to all craftsman involved and to Joel for a seamless purchase. I will shoot and treasure this gun. And the case is like new with all the accessories included.
