First time buying a Parker

[Bobby Goins]

I anticipate buying my first Parker at some point in the spring.
I would ask how you go about evaluating a gun before plunking
down the cash. Is there a checklist I should be aware of? I've only
handled 4 or 5 Parkers in my lifetime and would appreciate any
suggestions on what to look for as potential problems with the gun.
It will be hunted and shot often. I don't wish to buy it and have to
ship it off for repairs shortly after purchasing it.

Thanks.

Bobby
