Reference on Gun Smith

Chuck:
I assume what you really mean is an "un-buggered screw." It is possible to remove Parker screws without destroying the slots -- but it takes education and a proper turnscrew to do it.
And... the bottom plate you show is virtually clean compared to some Parkers I've taken to bits! Still, they should all be treated to a strip-and-clean every few years as you say. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Best, Kensal

I have sent all the metal parts to Brad and I'm sure he will do all the proper things that are needed. I recieved the damascus barrels back today and boy do they look great. Dale Edmonds did a fantastic job on them.

Well just an update!! Brad called and the metal parts are all finished so the wood will be sent to him soon and this project will be complete. Can't wait to see the 2 brl. sets with rest of the gun should be a stunning site. Picked up a really nice 1894 Remington CE this week that is super nice. Will post pic's of the Parker so everyone can see the results of 3 different masters at work.
