Dan Lammers' specialty is Krieghoff target guns and SBTs, but he did nice work on a couple of my Parkers.

The guys over at Ivory Beads in Covina are a good contact for sure. http://www.ivorybeads.com/site/RunSc...~PgDefault.asp

Another option is to contact Brad Bachelder in Michgan 616-459-3636 Brad can probably repair your stock so you would never know that the repair bolt was ever in it. He may be able to do a complete restoration for about the same cost as a re-stock job.

If it were me that inherited my father-in laws gun. The first thing I would do is talk to my wife and make sure it's OK with her to alter her fathers gun and take all of his sweat & patina off of his gun.

Good luck with it and keep us informed as things progress!

Were all the San Francisco Wigeon Gun Club 20 gauge Parkers with 3" chambers DHE's? Were they 32" barrels as well?I know I'm bouncing all around the facts and probably have none correct.

Thanks for the helpful ideas. I've checked out the Ivory Beads website and may follow your advise a take it out there. The stock is in pretty good shape outside of the repair. I think I'll start by trying to restore the original stock. Nothing fancy but giving the stock a good rub down. Clean it up a bit and see what the original wood has to offer. Any ideas on what products to use for cleaning and polishing?

I could repost in the restoration thread if that would be better. I'll post before and after pictures when I'm done.

Again you guys have been a great help. Thanks for the support.

Robert,
I probably have a 0 frame stock around the shop, but I would have to see the gun and do some measurments. As the fellows here all know they usually need to be fitted.
I have a store in Covina California, and that is a nice drive on a Saturday.
I would be pleased to look at that gun as well as the model 12.
The name of the store is Ivorybeads, 1-888-328-0700.is our tollfree number.
Hope we can help
