Wow. If my Grandpa left a Parker to me that needed repairs I would certainly do so if I could afford it. This project would be a labor of love without potential return of money on investment. I think it could become shootable if the barrels can be deemed safe by a competent gunsmith. I cannot guess the price for repairs but would expect it to be severel thousand dollars (as it needs more than just a forend). You would wind up with your Great Grandpa's Parker in presentable condition for another century. If the barrels are not safe you could possibly have it "patched" and save money. JMUO. Bob
