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.

How to clean a Parker Reproduction?
I am new to the world of owning a parker and am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my first parker and I was wondering what would be the correct method to clean the action and how to maintain it?

Greg,
Welcome to the wild world of Parkers!! This maybe your first Parker, but I'll bet it won't be your last.
Your question isn't an easy one to answer; Are you talking just a normal after shooting type of cleaning or a total gone-through disassembly type of cleaning.
The short version is for the normal type of cleaning:
Just do what you would to any other gun. Wipe down the metal with a good gun oil, clean off any gunk you can with a Q-tip or soft tooth brush, mop the bores with a good bore solvent & brush, then give them a light coat of oil. Just don't use any type of spray cleaner or oil in the action. Doing this can saturate the wood with oil or cleaner and damage the wood from oil soaking.
If your gun needs a total going through:
Since this is your first Parker, I would suggest that you take it to a competent double gunsmith that knows Parkers for this type of cleaning. In the mean time look at the FAQ section on the forumn and hang out here on a regular basis. It's amazing the things you'll learn here about doing work on these great old guns.
