Briley thinwall VH price check
I seem to be getting into these Parker Gems. Here's what I have on my plate this week, 1931 VH 32" vent rib, Beavertail forend, Miller trigger, Vent rib and ejector. This P shooter was done up be Del Greco then sent to Briley for thinwalls.
I have only seen pictures of this gun, by weeks end I will go look at it, price is what has me thinking. Before we get into the gun is ruined with the thinwalls, my thinking is to me it's perfect, I can shoot it at just about anything I want. Sporting clays, skeet, live pigeons, waterfowl, starlings over chit pits. I have no desire to get into keeping fair weather safe queens.
The owner has a price what he thinks is fair value for his gun. He's stressed to me that the over haul has increased the value, the Briley job has made it more desireable. He's also is one of these anal wierdo's who talks non stop on the phone, keeps a log of every shell he's fired through the gun, how he got his masterclass sporting clays............ then after all his ranting tells me he did what Browning, Perazzi, K gun do install choke tubes. All while I am thinking to myself how am I going to get this guy to come down on price and he doesn't take it personally.
Bottom line is I think I would like to own this gun, but I also don't want to get deep into something that I could build on my own. The restore job does nothing for me maybe even turns me off since I like the looks of a worn funeral grade. As long as it's mechanically sound, tight on face and the choke work mic's out.
Is there a % that I should knock off his asking price and why?
