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.

8 Guage 1888 Hammer Gun
Here are some pictures of my Great-grandfathers Parker 8 guage. Obviously the stock is broken, over the head of a coyote in a trap 75 years ago. I would like to get it repaired, any recomendations to a quality professional would be appreciated. The wood box in the pictures has been with the gun as long as anyone can remember, the gun fits perfectly, so it was either built for the gun or came with it from Parker Brothers, Maybe? My grandfather was born in 1902 and he said it was with the gun when he was a young boy, but didn't know if it was original equipment, he passed in 1994. I also have all the tools needed to reload shells and I have at least a hundred of the brass shells in various lengths also. Any guess on the value of the gun?

Casey,
Looks like a great project gun. To learn more about Parker guns, I would encourage you to join the PGCA. It is a great group and well worth the $40 membership.
There are just a few qualified gunsmiths to fix the wood on your gun to a high level. You might consider Brad Bachelder- he is a PGCA member and a highly regarded gunsmith.
