I hate all guns that have been over sanded and poorly poorly re checkered.

Heritage!

Russell, your gun sounds like a treasure. Beauty is as beauty was, and it was a beauty to your father.

Guns sanded down to the point there is no checkering left.

Pachmayr pad with that ugly as sin white line spacer! They're OK for a rifle, but they scream "below average trap shooter" to me. I'm fine with replacement pads that are not period correct, but that white line jumps out and grabs my eyeballs and will not let go. That's the first thing I do on a "new" Parker if it has one. Otherwise, I can tolerate a lot in a solid gun that breaks clays and kills birds.

Buggered-up screws, pads on a small-bore, pads in general...
