I can hear those guns now. I didn't get any sleep last night because the foxes wouldn't shut up. Have to go to the stock doctor tomorrow and have my toe repaired. Arthritis is getting so bad my hammers squeak. The lock jaw I have is getting so bad I wont open at the hinge and my Back hurts from leaning against a log for half the day.

I have a couple old lifters the were in the same or worse shape that were brought back as shooters. Sure I likely spent more than they were worth. For me it is not always an economic calculation. I cant bear to see them get parted out or junked. Yes I sometimes bring home stray dogs too...

You are right Brian, and I have benefited from that along with many others. I am certainly not faulting anyone who decides to do that. In some cases it is the best thing to do. It is just my own personal choice. If the barrels are shootable and it is all there I try to fix them up, regardless of grade. I would like to thank you for gathering a significant inventory of parts in support of your business and making them available to us. It has helped out many Parker owners, myself included.
