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.

Cutting Parker barrels is like cutting hundred dollar bills in half, because 3" money is easier to carry.

We bought a GH 16 about twenty five years ago from a local guy for $100 I believe it was . Gun had a kinda rough life . Anyway the barrels were 27” when we got it . Pretty sure they’d started life at 28” anyway on a Skeet field I have no problem (as long as my heads in the game) staying in the mid 90’s out of 100 . This thing is probably the equivalent of S&S or very lite IC in both barrels . Oh by the way the barrels are damascus and the gun was made in 1911 . It does very well with factory dove and quail loads or my handloads . Also very very well with my #1 buck handloads and my home cast/loaded slug loads . I don’t advocate cutting any Parker barrels but if you get a gun cheap enough with already cut barrels you may as well put it to use .
