Lets face it guys , It those famous words My Opinion. With that being said I bought a Parker DH a few weeks ago that was sleeved and wood restored, The darn thing was in my opinion a nice gun so I broke down and brought it home.

Dean,I agree with you the gun should be brought back to shooting condition. But would you still consider the gun"High Condition"?

Steve,I agree opinions are like... But a friendly discussion to get different viewpoints is fine I guess.

In the purest, most distilled sense of those words..... No.

....but this hypothetical Parker would benefit greatly from Teague liners

Suffer in value from what it would have been worth had the barrels been perfect?..... Absolutely
