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.

I grew up with a Father, Grandfather and Uncles all convinced those Damascus and Twist warnings on shell boxes were just an industry ploy to sell new guns. My Father, October 1972, on a trip where we really got into the Pheasants in Colombia County, Washington. His gun is a Damascus barrel, 1896 vintage, Remington Model 1894 AE-Grade --

My Father with a Damascus barrel KE-Grade Remington Model 1900 and my Grandfather with his heavy Twist barrel 1890-vintage Parker Bros. PH-Grade, November 1948 --

My Father with Grandpa's Parker, October 1932 --
