When it was time to checker the stock for the D grade Parker I just finished I was stuck or someone to checker it. Macon no longer does outside work and Carol at Altmans won't do finer than 20 LRI and does not understand mulled borders. I ended up at RMS custom gunsmithing in AZ for the Parker. Robert did a good job at a rational price.

Ed
Degreco's has a long running rep as a faker of parkers, original skeet stamp, wrong case colors, checkered side pannels. He does have a selection of original parts. But I would be extra careful of guns sold as redone by him. I will say this, he was never accused of getting out his torch to get case colors.

you axed for referral for someone to checker a parker stock...

i suggested three options for you to consider...

instead of expressing your thanks, you choose to respond by bad mouthing a shop that many consider to be the go to place for parker shotgun work...

have you no class?

Well Ed, Bill was just stating the truth and the obvious.

truth and obvious is not the point...
