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.

Reattaching the forend

I have occasionally had this problem and I have solved it by having the gun with the barrels on it standing up on its butt. Then I put the forend tightly against the barrels and forcefully start pushing it down toward the receiver. It takes some strength to do this, but it recocks the ejectors and the forend will then latch onto the barrels. It's kind of like the dowel method but using the gun to do it instead of the dowel.
