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.

Who are going to be looking for condition AND FIT. If I see a high condition 10ga at a good price by any maker and it has 2" DAC by 3 1/2" DAH at the heel I am going to pass. Not only are the hammerless 10's far fewer in number they were all made in the period of lots of drop. These days a good condition unmessed with 10 with good dimensions stands on it's own merits and will command a price close to or equal to a similiar 12. The era of NH and EH GRADE guns in such condition languishing on the dealers rack at a bargain basement price are gone.

Agree 100 %, reason I strayed from Parkers for a Hammerless short 10 is way the gun fit. Ithaca Super 10 I bought a few months ago has a much higher stock than my Hammer Parker 10 about 2 3/4 DAH. . It's probably 40 years newer which accounts for the more modern dim's
