Looking for advice on repair - Page 3

Nice gun regardless and hope it finds the good gunsmith it deserves

Thanks for all the help. I think I have decided I will need to ship it to someone for repairs. I spoke with Larry DelGrego and with Dewey Vicknair. Sounds like either one of them could knock it out. I am looking forward to getting the gun back in shooting condition.

I also have the old tags from the gun. Here is a picture.

Just curious- The tag says the RH barrel targets 125 pellets and the left targets 220 pellets. Does anyone know what this corresponds to in choke? i.e. modified, imp cyl, etc?

That's about Improved and Modified.

Hello, Gentlemen! New member here. I saw this thread and would love some advice. My husband inherited a Parker from his grandfather (1878) and would like to have a qualified gunsmith look at it to clean, restore, etc. Any such person in the Indianapolis, IN area? Many thanks! Dorie Greene

Dorie- fyi I sent my gun to Larry DelGrego for repair. I was pleased with the results.

Don't leave us hanging after all the advice you got from us Geoff. What did DelGrego say was wrong with the gun?

Dean Romig · 03-12-2015, 08:57 AM

Hello Dorie, and Welcome!

Before you do anything with/to the gun please show us some pictures and give us the serial number. Sometimes a Parker should just be left alone as anything done to it could reduce its value.

Hello, for me when ever I have any big parker moves rather repair or buying my first choice is Brad Bachelder. I'm sure there's other's who are very good also, I just look at brad as a parker man with a great deal of experience and knowledge.
