Old GH on a new Rabbit!

[Eldon Goddard]

How hard is it to remove those dents? 1/8'' seems like a real deep one. I am going to buy one of those hosfords. They seem like a good deal and I have alot of dents that need removing.

Eldon,

Removing dents using the Hosford tool is easy. Removing them perfectly so there is no ripple in the bore or marks on the outside is a little harder. I am able to remove the average dent so the there is no evidence that it was ever there. For those deep dents I still have some wave work to do. Overall it is easy, it just takes time.

Mark I noticed the grip shape on your gun and its very similar to an original one I just copied and restocked,it seems in my mind to be an elongated and more open version of a PG ,when I first came across that one it was the first one I had seen (#157474) it fits me so well I use the shape on most of my personal re-stocks....I wonder how many different grip shapes did Parker Bros use ?

Chris,

The subject GH is in the 122,000 serial number range. It does have an elongated grip cap which is about 1/2" longer than it is wide. How many grip cap variations there are is a level of Parker Gun knowledge far beyond what I know. If I were a stocker, I would however certainly know!
