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.

Questions about my Damascus GH
New member looking for some sound advice.
My First Parker. GH, in good condition circa 1897? Want to shoot it a bit, take a wild pheasant with it, but mostly to add to my very small collection of SxS's.
Seller has recently shot the gun safely.
Questions: I have 3 day inspection and a good smith. What wall thickness is right and makes it a safe gun to shoot?
What shells will be appropriate for this gun? 2 1/2" chamber.
Does RST make a shell for a damascus gun? Other options?
I'll post pics when I get it.
Any advice on inspecting a damascus gun also appreciated.
thanks, Bill

I shoot a lot of Damascus barreled guns and only shoot 2 1/2 inch shells either from RST or my own reloads using their hulls. I can't speak to the proper amount of wall thickness on a 12 as my guns are mostly small bores, What frame size is it?
