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.

Yes, TPS would be the source for production numbers and such on any rare configuration guns.
To address a little bit of trivia. The longest barrel length on the 8ga (or any ga for that matter) was 40”. I personally restored a 40” 8g a couple years ago. The actual barrel measurement was 40.5” and the barrels alone weighed 12-1/2 lbs. the gun in total weighing in at 16-1/2 lbs. it was a hammerless gun with an un-matted rib, likely because the matting machine could not handle the 40” length. I have not seen another 40” gun yet to confirm.
I speculate in saying that the most common barrel length in 8g guns as a whole was 36”.
The hammer 8g guns were built on frames as large as number 7 size. And the hammerless guns were built on up to 6 frame size. Some 10g guns were also built on the large 8g number 6 frame.
