VH 20 cut barrel

[Bruce Day]

Yes, and a poor one at that resulting from inadequate polishing or failing to go through the right sequence of coarser to finer grits.

You have just encountered two reasons why original condition and configuration Parkers are held in high esteem. Find yourself a gun that hasn't been messed with, or if messed with, done properly, which is always more expensive, time consuming or require greater skill than many gunmanglers have or people looking to make money on a quick turn are willing to spend.

I have seen lots of frosted and dull barrels and its very apparent that a bad reblue job was done. May I suggest making the acquaintance of a good PGCA member who knows Parkers and having him help find a gun for you? Come to Vintagers, Sanford, etc and get somebody to recommend a gun for you. I see you are in Atlanta, we have some members who know their Parkers in Georgia. On the plus side, bad reblues are not fatal and there are Parker qualified gunsmiths who can do a good job, $250 was a price I heard.

Several years ago Galazan had a VH O frame 16 Ga with 28 inch barrels, it had a Parker D grade stock on it. Price $2800. It sold and was put back on the web site several weeks later for $2200 after being returned. I called them and the chokes were IC and Mod. Made them an offer of $1800 and they accepted. It was what I wanted and I know some of the PARKER purists would throw rocks at me for buying it, but I have not seen one since in as good of condition for less than $3000. You just have to be happy with your purchase even if it is not 100% original. Galazan even told me if I was not happy at that price, please return it. With 1000's of guns going thru their store they cant be sure of everything but they will try to make it right.
