butchlambertHelp with Parker Repair
I have an old Parker that needs some help. I have so many centerfire things going. I may not have the money to spare at this time. Who would you recommend to give a good estimate and also for repair.

dsitemanHello,
Doug Turnbull's operation does shotgun restorations and is well known for top quality work. Might want to check out his web site. Just Google/search Turnbull Restoration and be ready for gun art!!

Kyler HamannYou're right, I've never heard anything bad about Turnbull either. Although his prices are probably steeper. With my project I was looking more for function than collectability, but Turnbull can do both.

DB BillButch ... contact Jim at Ivory Beads in Covina, CA as they handle as many nice old doubles as anyone I know and Jim knows people who can work on them. Tell him what you want and he can suggest the right person for you. I don't have the number handy but their web-site is
www.IvoryBeads.com Both Jim and Jerry, his partner, are good folks and have a wealth of knowledge.
Did you see the bird pics I posted in the bird hunting forum?
