Default Philadelphia Arms company restock finally finished!

Finally! Here are the before and after pictures. This thing is about as close to a VH as a person could make without it being a Parker, on the outside only of course! This is the first stock to come off my duplicator. It was MUCH easier than working from a raw blank. Jerry

Ansley H. Fox at one time worked at Parker Bros. and shot a Parker competitively.

I had a fairly high grade PAC gun at one time and didn't know what I had. I have no idea where the gun is now but I do remember it had the most fantastic piece of marble caked wood I've ever seen. The gun was 100% original and not too far from new. Jerry
