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.

Parker refurbish/partial restore help
Hello fellow enthusiasts. I only have 1 Parker and it's a rather sentimental piece. I was looking to see if someone could please lookup the serial number 109572 to let me know the specifics of the gun. I know it is a 12 ga SxS hammerless but other than that not much else I know about it. Specifically I'd like to know what style butt plate would have come with the gun. I'm looking to find an old one I can restore or a new production copy. I just don't know what design it would have had. Currently the butt plate was replaced (poorly) with a piece of rubber and not the nice grind to fit style. The background of the gun is below.
This Parker I have was my grandfather's small game gun. He was the one who taught me to shoot but sadly died when I was 6. My parents didn't know much about guns and in my ignorance at 11 years old I thought it would be a good idea to fix the "rust" on the gun and make it blued like my pap's other (newer) guns. A broken stock and a barrel bluing disaster later my parents took the gun to a local gunsmith to fix at the time. I remember him saying I ruined the gun's value trying to work on it. I felt terrible at the time. The gunsmith polished and reblued it and fixed the crack in the stock. At the time, I didn't realize it But my parents elected to replace the butt plate as cheap as possible but with cushion for an 11 year old.
Anyway 25 years later, I still have the gun but it has sat unfired since I was 16. I oiled and cleaned it 2x a year since. At this point I'd like to semi restore some parts and looks of the gun. The bluing is still pristine and so is the cracked / now fixed stock. I'm quite handy now and was able to strip the badly over oiled stock and give it a nice uniform oil finish.
