[quote=J.R.B.][quote=Ken61]Ed, Look at the way he leaves the action open to get the lever to the left,tricky boy that eddy: Come on Ed! By looking at the breech/dolls head and the top lever position, That action certainly is NOT closed! Besides... anyone who knows a thing or two about Parkers would know that top lever position means very little. The lever position was set at the factory and there is very little movement of it allowed with wear of the bolt. So why try to make something look like it isnt when it is a moot point anyway?

Ok guys. I do not know Mr Good, all I know about him is things that have been said about him on this bbs.
It seems now that the topic has changed to mash Mr. Good. I think we need to get back to the concept of an inspections and move forward

cept, the receiver was not recolored using a gas torch. and the action is fully closed in all photos... Are you saying that it was recolored with a heat gun and cold blue? The point is that it was NOT recolored using a process similar to the original factory one..Hence, the term "Restored" is not accurate.
I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

And his past history of threatening to sue some us has not won him over either ! The pictures tell the story,anyone who wants to buy from someone who sells guns like that can, but I wouldn't recommend it to a new buyer and think there is nothing wrong with pointing it out to let others make their mind up.

61: as i understand it, old ed recolors old shotgun receivers, using a controlled, low heat and chemical process. i did ask him once if he used a torch to heat receivers for recoloring. his reply was, yes, that he used to do it that way long ago, because that was the way he was trained. but there was a problem with the torch in maintaining consistent heat in order for his base chemical solutions to produce uniform results. so, he said he developed a more controlled heat process, that solved the problem. when i asked what that was, old ed just slyly smiled and replied that that is a trade secret...i will say, that i have heard from another party, that he uses some sort of modified potters kiln for metal coloring purposes, but, i have no proof of that claim...
and as for restoring old shotgun receivers to their original factory specs...there is no one alive today that can precisely accomplish that task...even those who do an acceptable job of rehardening, with case colors as by product, are using technigues that cannot be proven to be the same as those used when old guns were originally manufactured...
and keep in mind, that in order to reharden already hardened metal, one must first anneal the metal, which softens it, which is necessary for rehardening purposes. so. the very process of rehardening a receiver requires destruction of the original factory heat treatment. a gun is no longer original, once the receiver has been rehardened.

an dudley, the picture posted above, stolen from another internet site, is that of a parker shotgun with two sets of barrels. one set of barrels is original to the gun. the other set of barrels is not. the picture above is of the gun with the non original set of barrels assembled to the receiver. the barrel metal is about a thousandth of an inch proud of the receiver metal. for those who may be interested in knowing more about this fine old parker, following is link to another web site where other pictures are posted. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=451117640

Believe it is spelled "megalomania" Eddie-- You can pontificate all you wish here, thanks to the great forbearance of our "Host with the most" Dave Weber", but Ed, you are your own worse enemy, or for those of the brethren who may believe you to be a complete [censored], perhaps your own worse enema might be a tad more accurate- Only a complete full-bore fool would chance a deal with you for one of your offerings here on this website, knowing that his chances of getting a full refund from you are about a great as winning a wager backing NJ Gov Christie against POTUS Obama in a watermelon seed spitting contest--
