Purchase of Parker Shotgun

[George Lander]

A bit closer to you than Keith (who does wonderful work) is Jim Kelly of Darlington Gun Works, Darlington, South Carolina (who also does wonderful work) and is set up to do expert barrel honeing. Phone # is (843) 393-3931. Tell him that George sent you.

Best Regards, George

I would second that recommendatoin on Jim Kelly. I have him check out all the guns I purchase and he has done great repair, restoration work.

You will have the barrels back within a month or less. They guy is pretty darn fast, but I live just down the street from him and I go over to his shop and drop my guns off.
He can even have the barrels re-engraved so the Parker name, etc looks new. He is an experienced Parker collector, but today he is "into" double rifles.

You can google him, but if you want your barrels to look like new inside and out it'll set you back almost $600, but you'll have to ask him for exact quote. He can also re-choke as you please and change the chamber length. He is a genius with wood.

I have taken guns to him that were borderline junk, then he waved his magic wand they came back like new, and I was then and am now astounded. I took my GH to him to have the works repaired. I discussed a re-do. He wouldn't do it, saying that the patina was perfect, showing wear and care that made the gun a classic. So he has integrity.

If I had a headache I believe he could do brain surgery. He is very good.

all of the above is sooo true, thats where my guns go,

I can do brain surgery.....my survival rate sucks however I defer to the experts
