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.

Lifter takes Feather and Fur
I had some success with the oldest Parker to date that I have harvested game with. This Grade 1 10 Gauge Lifter was built in 1875 on a # 2 frame. That makes it just shy of 150 years old. With 30" barrels, it comes in at a little over 8lbs. The interesting thing about this gun is that the Parker letter states that it was returned in 1877 to bore out the barrels to cylinder bore. It seemed to work ok with 3 3/4drams of 2f and 1 1/4 oz of nickel plated 5.5's.
