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.

The Smoky Smell of History
Just wanted to share...
I'm taking advantage of a rainy day here in RI to fit a CSMC replacement butt plate to a 1905 VH.
The wood had that old dust and dirt smell and appearance. A little cleaning and wow!- I unleashed a heady smell of smoky wood that tells of a gun that has spent decades sitting beside an open fireplace and getting lots of use.
For those who have been there, it was like walking into the White Horse Tavern in Newport RI :-).
Nice.

My Dad’s Savage 99 smelled like that when I was first introduced to it when I was about 8.
Strangely, the Winchester 94 that he gave me when I was 14 smelled exactly the same way.
They say smells will bring back memories faster than anything else.
