I shoot mine and seldom sell. Not seen as dollar investment but an investment in my own pursuit of happiness. For me the most important from the list is d followed by g. I would add condition and alignment of all visible screw heads. When they are not good then I know the gun has been worked on and not by a knowledgeable professional. After those factors are dealt with the fact the gun is a Parker Bros is enough for me to consider depleting my toy budget. Once I have it I will completely disassemble replace anything broken inside clean lube reassemble and shoot, usually with a view to taking home a wild pheasant. Cheers Jack
