James, I agree restocking this gun doesn’t make financial sense from an investment perspective. You’re probably looking at $2,500 for a “Parker correct” stock job which is far more than the gun is worth. If the stock can be repaired, the cost is far less. And there could be other issues as well. But many of us would happily pay that price to save and be able to shoot a gun that meant so much to our dad, and to you. Don’t give up on that gun just yet. Get it inspected by a reputable gunsmith/stocker and then make your decision.
Need a recommendation? Go to the PGCA home page and on the left margin click on “Parker FAQ”. Then select “Need a gunsmith” for recommendations and reviews. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
