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.

Bruce, you make some good points and your tips on looking for vintage cases, cleaning rods etc it is good advice for some good fun. However, I have in the past read some slightly disparaging words from participants in this web board towards Trojans in particular. An orginal condition, with good dimensions Trojan, especially in 20ga is not easy to find and is a joy to shoot. I have also read disparaging comments on restorations which may not be for everyone, but IMO a family heirloom or rare/unique gun is worthy of restoration if it has gone past the point of no return. There is and should be room for everyone at the table, from the person who has their grandfathers Trojan to the owners of high grade and extensive collections. On another point I believe these hard economic times are bringing some guns out of closets and making them available for sale. I am aware of a Remington-Parker Skeet gun that became available after being in the same family since 1940. Cash is King these days as they say.

George,Thompsons were made by Auto Ordinance in West Hurley NY. Some early ones were made by Colt in Hartford,CT for Auto Ordinance.
