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..
As I mentioned in my new guy post, this is both my first Parker and my first SxS in general, for purposes of a class I'm taking beginning on Monday.
The gun is entirely matching aside from the poorly-replaced triggerguard, but is pretty much completely devoid of finish.
Barrels appear to be in pretty good shape. Bores are fairly clean, and there aren't any significant dings or bulges or anything.
Same story for the forearm, which features the only remaining shred of color case hardening on the whole gun. Checkering and everything is worn, but the forearm is structurally sound.
And here's where things start getting ugly. Triggerguard is obviously a poorly done replacement job.
Also missing the safety.
So, I'm anticipating quite the restoration project on my hands, but that's exactly why I have it anyway. Any input or suggestions are certainly appreciated!
