Wow! You guys are a tough crowd. My goal is to have this as a hunting shotgun and I think I can achieve that goal without too much expense. I don't want a full restoration but rather a gun that is functional and safe. I know it will require at least a full disassembly, cleaning, lubing, at least one screw (Can be a replica screw), the barrel wedge (saw the original is broken) and reassembly. Now for the butt stock,it is numbered to the gun and has the Parker cap on the bottom of the pistol grip. I like idea of like wood panels on the side and to fill in the 3 lines per inch checking with walnut dust and epoxy. Then rechecking. And a new recoil pad. The butt stock I can do myself but I'll leave the rest to a Parker professional. As far as cheap, I only paid 50 bucks as is, so not a bad investment! Thanks to all for the gunsmith recommendations and comments. I really enjoyed them, especially the 3 lines per inch checkering. Steve
