Visiting the Larry DelGrego & Sons shop is something every Parker collector should do some time. It is/they are Parker gun history. I found it extra special to spend time in the office with Babe listening to his stories and looking at his memorabilia. Just around the corner is the Remington Arms museum and their store if it's still open. There is some neat stuff to look at there including a Trojan Skeet gun prototype. My few visits have involved near 600 mile round trips but they were always great days.

I want to ad that Lawrence has always been very accommodating, we arrange a day for me to arrive and he took care of some small issues on a few guns while I waited. His mother even came into the shop one day and brought both of us a sandwich and chips. That was unexpected, probably a one off of event but sure made me feel welcome.
