Default My FrankenParker

Time for me to come out of the closet. I've been hanging around here for nearly 8 years, but have never owned a Parker. I've learned a lot from you guys and gals, and hopefully have been able to contribute a bit (but certainly not Parker knowledge)
About 15 months ago, I bought a bag of parts, sight unseen, which promised to be a GH with 32" barrels and a replaced stock. Had it all shipped to Brad B who worked his magic, finishing the stock and barrels. The receiver remains badly overbuffed, but I think she will be fine for her intended use as a Sporting Clays and 5 stand gun. Would have taken her out today, but snow and wind stopped that plan. There are a few pictures in my FrankenParker Album.

It takes a very brave man to make that kind of confession - thanks for your honesty Jobn.

The truth will set you free.

Anyone else care to take that leap of faith and confess?

Very nice job John. Yeah, the engraving is a little thin, but hey it looks better than I will when I'm 100+ years old. That old gal needs to make no apologies.
