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.

Photos are attached.
Comments appreciated.

The wall thickness at the muzzle is not where you need to take measurements for safe shooting. Barrel wall thickness to determine minimum wall thickness must be taken along the entire lrngth and circumference of each tube. Thin spots can show up anywhere. Thin spots can also support a suspicion that barrels may have been honed.

Leave that drop in gauge in the drawer if you are dealing with any Parker made before the 1920s.
