Yeah... it is best to leave that one right where it is. That thing is a money pit and the price is 3-4 times what it should be in that condition.

When you consider the cost of improving this gun against the price it would sell for, the real value of this gun in its present condition is below zero.

That is what I started thinking after I looked around at some 10 gauge Parker hammer guns . I have seen some decent grades 2s in the $2500 range . Though Im currently on the fence about another big project im considering . I have to plan things long term when it comes to spending alot of money .
