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.

Courtesy of Joe Wood for restoring and protecting damascus barrels after cleaning:
Formby's Tung Oil is by far the best metal finish I've used. It is very easy to apply (or remove), dries quickly, and seems to have "miracle" restorative properties when applied to faded damascus barrels.
Place a long wooden broom handle in the breech of one tube and tighten the handle in a vice so the barrels are horizontal. Wet a 4 inch square cloth patch with the oil and wipe it on, moving quickly. It might help to rotate the tubes using another wooden dowel in the muzzle of the other barrel. One patch should do both barrels. Let dry for 3 to 4 days then admire your work. The Tung Oil also can be used to protect case colors on the receiver.
