Baton Rouge Gunsmith

I have some 75 year old very valuable shotguns (Parker, etc.) that I would like to get back in working order and perhaps bore from 2 1/2 to 2 3/4. Who is the very best in terms of working on old guns like these?

I wouldn't trust any of the 'smiths in BR to handle a Parker.
Also, shotgunworld.com is a very good resource for stuff like this. Post up your situation over there.

1) I would not open the chambers. If you want to shoot them get some RST shells if they are in working order.
2) If you need other work done, check out Double Gun Shop for the correct smith for the correct job...
3) I would not hand a high grade gun to a smith in BR...

If you want quality work on a double gun you will really have to broaden your search beyond Baton Rouge. 2 of the best Parker guys in the country are Larry Delgrego and Brian Dudley. Larry did a great job restoring my dad's 16 gauge but this was over 15 years ago and he has started getting mixed reviews on his current work. My dad (who is obviously a big Parker fan) recently commissioned Brian to locate a 12gauge and totally restore it. The people who have the skill and experience to do a restoration on these guns that will actually add value are few and far between. Not only will you pay a premium for quality work but you can expect the project to take at least 6 months to well over a year depending on the scope of work desired.
