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.

Definitely an obstruction. An overload would bulge or rupture at the chamber/cone juncture most likely.

Metal detection shortfall
After a long Saturday metal detecting the only item's found were a rib section from between the barrel's and more poison ivy on my arms. I was looking for the trigger guard with serial number but did not find it; I would have accepted a skeleton or at least pile of buried guns...
I do feel confident that no other parts of this poor Parker remain in the dirt since I successfully cleared the entire area of every beer can, rusty screw, tobacco tin, bag tie, cloths pin spring, bottle top, fence post or hardware, and other unrecognizable item.
A fellow Parker owner lent me 2 books - Parker Guns by Ed Muderlak, and The Parker Story, Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price, Cote'. One picture from the first book dates this piece as pre 1905 based on the old style linkage for the top lever opener mechanisms. Ill check back in with any more findings when I finish these 2 books in 1.5 to 2 years from now.... Cheers!
