Am I getting a good deal

"Wow, I'm amazed at the response from many of you out there. Parker Brothers Makers is in Ohio, not Connecticut. Many of you have suggested calling the owner. He will not talk to me. I called the local police, who indicated they have had a number of complaints about this company. When I asked the detective assigned to complaints for the company to pay them a visit, he said he wouldn't as he gets nowhere with them. He also said the Prosecuting Attorney's office won't do anything. So, I have sent a request to the AFT to look into this for me. Just so you know, they had all the parts ready for bluing, etc back in July of 2012. Don't think it would take a year and a half to blue up those pieces and make a stock. Said just last week that they got the barrels too thin trying to remove bore pits and that is why he is offering the other gun. Don't want another gun, just want mine. Also, they do advertise on the internet and make very fancy looking PB shotguns, but I'll never buy anything from them. Thanks to all of you for your comments. Mark"

I would just insist on getting the gun back in whatever state it is in and your money back in full. Period. If barrels are shot, then so be it. A different set can be found and fitted. If they acknowlege the gun is still there, I would not think this to be a problem. But... you never know.

I will make the statement I have made before in regards to this company... who the heck wants an overpriced O/U with the name Parker on it?

Mark,

If they got the barrels too thin, then they should rebarrel them, of course sending everything back to you with the original payment along with the payment to have it done by Kirk Merrington or someone capable of doing it, if it is a meaningful family piece. Do not accept that they cannot be repaired if you want the original gun. Just my 2 cents.
