Just Received My "New" Gun
I just got back my Parker DHE in 16 gauge on a number 1 frame that David VandenBrand restored for me. When I purchased the gun it was totally original but very well used, stock showing years of use with many dings, scratches, and dents but no cracks. Ejectors weren't working properly and bluing was well worn but barrels were in excellent condition. I made the decision that it needed to be gone over, repaired, and put back into excellent condition. I sent it off to Dave and he worked his magic on the gun. He refinished the stock and recut the checkering, blacked the barrels and trigger guard, repaired two buggered screws, and repaired the ejectors, bent the stock to give me 1 1/2 X 2 1/2 X 14 1/4 over the original skeleton butt plate. The gun is now in perfect working order, beautiful to look at (the wood is much nicer than I expected), has great dimensions, and ready for another 100 years. I couldn't be happier and really glad I had it all done. Dave is a great guy to deal with and love his work.
