There is a lot of satisfaction in rescuing these old Parkers. A lot of times it does not make monetary sense, but the enjoyment you get is priceless.

Like one old collector once said, "We love these old guns because they harbor old men's souls." So help me, I believe that. One of our distinguished members showed a picture of his prized 10 ga. and the radiator clamp around the stock said it all. Some things just need to be left just as you found them. As long as we spend our money on old Parkers, good whiskey and the like.....I doubt we will be a danger to society!

Completely agree, if for no other reason than to try and reverse past neglect so it can keep on giving enjoyment. I generally have to do the work myself, which I consider paying tuition to learn new skills. When I pass what I've worked on to others, it's with a sense of pride in whatever quality I can manage and also that I did it myself. If I have grandchildren someday, they'll get a gun that grandpa fixed. 100% worth the effort.
