I think all of us on here know that rebuilding a SW (or other field grade doubles) will not pay back the investment, let alone make a profit. At least, not immediately.
In fact, some of the best deals I have made on SWs has been those which have been redone and then passed into the chain of commerce. I have a couple that look absolutely beautiful and like brand (re)new, that I bought for about what a good field grade would go for. That seems even more so for Parkers. Jake
That's a good point, and begs a question I posed elsewhere (forget where) and got no response. When we hear about the ubiquitous "upgrade" of a gun it seems most always to be a Fox. Does anyone ever "upgrade" anything else, ie Parkers, etc? If so, do they ever admit it, 'cause I never seem to hear about it.
