We had a fairly decent VH 16 gauge in the shop a couple months ago that had a blued receiver . The stock also needed refinishing . It was part of a collection we sold for someone . Think there were six Parker's in the lot I got two and all but one are now gone . That VH 16 is one of those that went and I kinda kick myself for not scooping that one up as well !

I'm with you Charlie. This old Tom never even noticed the blued frame on my VH 20 gage.

Your gun Jeff, and your choice. I sent a 1913 Fox to Dan May that had been blued to check an old stock repair. He strengthened the repair and removed the blue from the receiver leaving a remarkably authentic aged gray appearance. I should have inquired as to the technique.
