Gerald,
You had much more ambition for the old gun than I ever did. That is for sure. And it cleaned up to be presentable. Every person that I hunted with who saw the gun always told me “you can make that think look like new, why not?” Because it would have defeated the purpose for why I bought the gun to begin with. To have a beater. And I knew that the exterior pitting could not be cleaned up without putting more effort into it than it was worth.

A good cleaning can do wonders for worn Parkers.

Brian; I wanted the gun just to have something to do and it was just the ticket for that. I learn something every time I take a Parker apart. This one was harder to take apart than it was to put back together. That Oxpho blue sure turned out black and I have read that it lasts pretty well. We will see. Shot some clays today again and it shot well again like a Parker should. With a little care one could hunt it another hundred years. Gerald.

Well Phoey Rainy Day found a new home already. I sure will miss her but I don't hunt in the rain anyway. The new owner left here grinning, He thought it was a Purdey.
