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.

3 frame parker history trail
This summer I purchased a 3 frame 2 barrel DH from Russ on here and have absolutely loved it. Great great gun. It was ordered in 1890s by M.E. Haight the owner of the mercantile in Crete NE. He sent it back for work and then later in 1913 or so it was sent back to have the 12 ga barrel added by a Mr. Julius J Buck.
I was able to find a decent amount of info on Haight and his family but found next to nothing on Buck. I broke through though when I found a listing for a julius j Bock connected with the Haight family.
He had a ton of info. Large rancher in Wyoming, Bank dorector, owned largest oilfield in Wyoming (his ranch) during the 30s, and was the first Wyoming resident the federal government went after for illegally fencing off public lands in 1909. So far he has been a fairly interesting individual. Anyway, just thought I would share the discovery.
