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.

Hi Jack,

As Charlie recommended, PGCA member Brian Dudley can repair and restore Parkers with great expertise in a reasonable amount of time.

Brad Bachelder is my gunsmith who has repaired and restored many doubles for me. If I did not have such a strong relationship with Brad I would certainly ask for Brian's services.

There are of course other smiths whom other members could recommend. I do not however know of any within a reasonable drive of your location.

When I buy or sell firearms I prefer USPS Priority for shipping. If one ships on a Monday the delivery will be made on either a Wednesday or Thursday. This avoids ones gun sitting in a postal storage area over the weekend when cleaning and maintenance personnel may have access to where guns are stored. I also have adequate firearms insurance through Jack Richardson, historicfireams.com . Jack is a doublegun enthusiast himself and knows how to take care of his clients!

For what it's worth,
Mark
