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..
Very nice. Is the stock original ? What ever,it is beautiful.Wonderful engraving too.I don't think I have ever seen a C with the breech ends engraves so extensively.
Russ, that is one beautiful Parker. I love the checkering and the engraving and the gauge and the grade, the straight stock, the for-end, perfect screws, heck even the pad looks good an that gun. Nice going partner...

"The Parker Gun"...An Immortal American Classic
Robert; Thank you, I believe the stock is correct, as before buying the gun, I found out who ordered the gun originally and the Initials are correct in the oval !,Also the fit is very nice and the whole gun appears to have aged together, with maybe the exception of the pad, although it also shows some amount of wear !
Angel; Thank you, as we have discussed, I just couldn't stand the thought of passing it up, I just not sure which of the guns I like the best, this one or that beautiful Hammer gun that belonged to you !!
He had great taste! I would order one just like it if I could,especially if I could pay what he did. Of course, this gun was not inexpensive even when new. Probably a couple months pay for the average Joe. Outstanding gun.
Robert, I imagine you are right about the cost for the average guy, I really liked the Quail on the bottom,the B grades seem to have more of this style from what I have seen, this is a late Rem. gun, maybe this is a pattern they used more in that era, to be honest I haven't seen many guns from that period so I really don't know .
Thank you Ed, I thought the same thing but my wife just loves the Doves, and she feeds them and Soooooooooooo, I suppose I will have to wait until Grouse season.
