1930 Parker VH 12 Gauge
Good Afternoon Everyone!
I recently acquired a Parker in which I'm looking for some insight on. I enjoy upland hunting over my GSP and feel this gun will be a great fit (using correct loads and care, of course). I'm looking to merely preserve this Parker and utilize throughout the upland season(s)- ultimately pass it down. I spoke with a few enthusiasts, but I'm looking for general input on what you would do to preserve/refresh this piece.
So far I'm leaning towards refinishing/repairing the stock & fore-grip (small cracks on top of stock on side receiver/tang) & "chasing the checkering", but I don't want to overlook any (obvious) concerns.
My apologizes for the crude pictures as I quickly took them before dropping it off at my gunsmith for a non-invasive safety check. (Frame is 1.5, 3.8lbs)
Thank you!
