Do you have a checklist for Inspecting a gun during an inspection period?

[jeffkinser]

I just purchased my first Parker (a 16 ga Trojan with 26" barrels) via Gunbroker and am picking it up from my Range this morning. I have a 3 day inspection period and wanted some guidance on what to verify on the gun once I have it in my hands for the first time. I appreciate all of the help.

The gun was sold as a Trojan Parker with matching serial numbers that had been restored. It also said that there had been a "professionally fixed" crack in the wrist.

Here is my plan so far:

1. Verify that all the pieces are included. (Thanks for the recent post about the forend being thrown out by the FFL shipping department)

2. Verify that the serial numbers all match in the appropriate places

3. Verify that the bores look clean and unpitted

4. Verify that the outside of the barrels look clean and unpitted.

5. Verify that the barrels look to be the original barrels with the correct length and are uncut. Specifically looking for 16 gauge and 1 frame on the lug and that the barrels match the pictures on the listing

6. Have my local gunsmith measure the Width of the Barrel thickness to ensure shootability

7. Have the local gunsmith verify that the crack in the wrist is safe


I already know that the case colors are cyanide so I am overlooking that check.
I don't know how to determine if the bluing is the correct Rust bluing process.

Anything I am forgetting for a "shooter grade"

8. Put it in plain sight in my office, look at it for hours and plan my next Parker purchase!!!!!

thanks,

Jeff
