Second! Kirk has done 2 barrel dent removals for me...I was very happy.

Thank you all! I tried Kirk and his phone and email are no longer good. Maybe he has retired?

I would try john Hosford, he has a very good reputation. I have seen him take out many dents at his booth at the SXS shoots.
BTW, what kind(grade) of Parker 20 did you inherit--they are wonderful little guns
