What? I understand why you ask. I refrained from mentioning anything when I saw it yesterday, but then someone else asked about the weep hole.

I do not by any means consider it as crapping on people just for the sake of it. But more of educating about the details of what makes a Parker. I am sorry you see it that way. Did I not also mention the strong points of the work and that the barrels did look good???

I think I will simply keep quiet from now on.

From my perspective, I like Brian's enlightened comments. He by no means shit on the gun, just gave his perspective. And he certainly know what its all about. His comment about the prep being in line with the grade of the gun proves it. I've seen too many reblued lower end guns that were polished much finer than Parker did. A real craftsman knows what the barrels originally looked like by grade and preps accordingly. Apparently Briley knows their stuff. Nice job.

In my opinion, drilling a weep hole is not necessary. If a rib is leaking, you will see it in the boiling steps with tiny bubbles along the rib.
