Sleeved Barrels

[Dean Romig]

Dave, I understand what you mean and I agree however, there are exceptions to every rule.

Let's take, hypothetically, an extremely nice, high grade Parker that might have been put away without scrubbing out the bores after shooting black powder all day and it sat for perhaps several decades until an heir found the gun. He appreciated it for what it was and in an uneducated way, honed all the terrible pits out of it but by doing so, rendered the barrel walls too thin to shoot safely. A beautiful Parker reduced to wallhanger status. Would such a gun warrant the investment of Teague liners? In my opinion, a resounding "Yes".

Lets face it guys , It those famous words My Opinion. With that being said I bought a Parker DH a few weeks ago that was sleeved and wood restored, The darn thing was in my opinion a nice gun so I broke down and brought it home.

Dean,I agree with you the gun should be brought back to shooting condition. But would you still consider the gun"High Condition"?

Steve,I agree opinions are like... But a friendly discussion to get different viewpoints is fine I guess.

In the purest, most distilled sense of those words..... No.

....but this hypothetical Parker would benefit greatly from Teague liners
