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.

WHAT ARE THE ODDS ??
Just received my letter on the CHE I purchased last month(159159).Gun letters to the gun down to the Lyman bead sights.They cost an extra $1.00.
This is a gun ordered and shipped without a safety.Gun was shipped in 1912 with a straight stock to W.S.Brown of Pittsgurg,Pa.
Gun was returned to Parker (documented) in 1917 to replace stock with a capped pistol grip stock with less drop at the heel.Present stock wears the original steel butt plate over the checkered wood butt.Also has the original silver oval but what appears to be a horn p.g.cap?
Last week I received a private message from a fellow member of the Association.He purchased the original straight stock years ago with a bucket of parts at a gun show.What are the odds?
He has searched for this gun for over 12 years and saw it when I posted a question on the Forum.
He was kind enough to sell me stock.
Gun is presently up at Del Grecos for ejector repair and general inspection.
Will send pics when gun is returned.
What are the odds? Think I wii buy a Lotto ticket today.
