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..
Dean ..... Is it a complete redo or cleanup?
Pictures please.....
Would like a Bernard someday....

Pete - I'm sorry to clutter your thread. This is all I'll do.
Marty, it is a complete restoration but not re-case colored. I didn’t want to replace the original color on the lock plares.
Seven of the first eight pics are "Before" and all others are "After." It was in pretty poor condition when I bought it but I fell in love with it's possibilities.
Chris Dawe our PGCA Member in Newfoundland totally restored the wood and sent out the skeleton butt plate and the trigger guard and some screws to be reengraved and niter blued.
Breck Gorman restored the beautiful 30" Bernard barrels.
Dave Fjelline made some new screws for it and niter blued them.
I stripped the frame and locks and sonic cleaned them and I reassembled it all.
12 gauge Top Action Grade 4 hammer gun built on the 1-frame, weight is 7.57 lbs.
It's a lovely gun and I can't wait to fire it.

I always look forward to this get-together but will be visiting the grand kids this year for Christmas and Major Waldron's is a long way from Dallas. I hope you guy have a great time and mother nature is kind to you.

We’ll miss you Larry!
I’m glad I got a deer this year - you always brought your delicious venison chili. We’ll miss that too.
