Hey Chuck! Just the usual "warts". Two buggered screw heads,the usual dings and scratches on the stock,remove one small dent and recolor barrels, clean out and freshen the checkering. The usual crimes that were commited when it was "just an old gun". Just got the letter back from Mark on Thursday and everything matches. Should make a nice shooter
 It will be a while till this project is done,just finished soaking the stock and cleaning the crud out of the action,but I'll take you up on that slingin lead! I have other Parkers that need the winter spider webs blown out of their bores.  Have you been to Blueridge yet this year? I could meet you there some Saturday and shoot a round together? PM me. Best Regards, Bob

Jack, A two or three day soak in acetone usually gets the oil out of the wood. The stubborn spots may require some heat and whiting powder. Steaming out dings and dents is next. HTH, Bob
