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.

Hello Thomas and welcome. Stub twist is a method of composite barrel making that is said to have included such discarded steel and iron pieces as the cutoff ends of horseshoe nails etc. - the "stubs" so to speak. It isn't what we call 'damascus' because the materials and method of manufacture is vastly different from that of true Damascus but it can be categorized as one of the 'twist' methods.
