I've never owned a Parker gun...saw a couple that caught my eye just never bought one.
A good friend at my gun club said if I ever saw inside a Parker I wouldn't want one ?
Joe,
No offense to you or anyone in particular, but most shooters wouldn't know what they were looking at if they looked inside a gun of any kind. Parts that may look rough, may not have any contact with another part, while parts that have contact may be hidden and be very smooth for their function. With the exception of some really high end guns, most parts in guns will have only contact surfaces finely finished, if at all. Whether or not you'd want one after looking inside, I couldn't say. But my take as a machinist/toolmaker's perspective is that they are decent inside for their era and the fact that most were production guns, but nothing to write home about.
