nh: well then, if you do not have a gun that you would like to have restocked for $600 or less then why did you ask to see an example of the kind of work that can be done for that amount? do you usually waste peoples time or only mine for some reason?
Why did I bring it up, a couple of reasons, first your suggestion to the original poster to save the original stock and have a Parker Trojan retocked (when it doesn't need it)is absolutely ridiculous. Then when that is pointed out you try to defend your position by suggesting a quality job could be done for $600 which it can't. I wanted to see an example of how crappy a $600 restock would look. You can not even buy an appropriate piece of wood for a Parker much less pay for the additional labor to fit, finish and checker it for that amount. Your advice from a cash outlay standpoint was and is wrong. That is why I pressed the issue because you continued to suggest bad advice to a potentially new classic doublegun shooter to restock a gun and spend far more than it would be worth. I was in effect challenging your advice and giving you more rope as they say. I did not do it to waste your time, I did it to be sure the original poster got the best advice and so far I have yet to see anyone agree with you.
