Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

1894 Parker GH
I recently purchased an 1894 Parker GH w/32" barrels from David Boyles (Thanks David!) and shot today on skeet for the first time using 2 1/2 inch RST lite loads. No mind you I've only shot one other Damascus double (an old Ithaca Flues which I promptly sold) and to my great satisfaction, shooting tis 32 inch gun was a pure dream. Absolutely soft on the shoulder and a dream to shoot, even at skeet. Must be the 32 inches that is absorbing much of the shock or dissipating it that makes all the difference. Next weekend I plan to shoot sporting clays with it and then ship it out to Brad B. for barrel refinishing to bring out the original Damascus pattern which has either faded over time or been scrubbed out. Either way, tis gun is tight as a drum and will continue to bring pleasure to shoot after all these years. I only wish that I had gotten in to Damascus Parkers a long time ago and would encourage any 'Parkerphile' to add one or two to their collection. What a blast to shoot and can't wait to shoot some pheasants down the road at Markover with it.
