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..
I went bottom feeding again and caught a big one . A Remington 1894 10ga, built in 1905, 30" full and fuller, 9 lbs with ejectors and good dimensions; 1 3/4" x 2 1/2" by 14 1/8". Barrels are free of dents and shiny with no pitting.
Barrel lug stamp is 26 and 45 which I think means 326 and 345 out 511 pellets (1 1/4 ounce 8) for about 65% and 68%.
Forend wood and the trigger guard look like it pushed down a few fences. Bead was pushed down bending the rib a little. Ejectors are in time, kick strong but if I use a fired hull that is sticking in the chamber just slightly the ejectors won't fire. With snap caps and new hulls it sends you chasing after them. I could understand if they fired and the hull stuck but not firing has me and one gunsmith stumped.
I guess I will try to find a better piece of forend wood if I can or get this repaired if possible. Put a taller bead on it and go shoot stuff.
