re: Baton Rouge Gunsmith

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.
