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..
About 20,000 people through. Three of us ran it this year. Ed Morgan did very well with raffle tickets. the new raffle gun is very attractive and drew lots of attention.
Ross Berck likes the unusual and prototype guns. There are photos of the prototype L C Smith single trap, which Ross owns. Enthusiasts will notice highly unusual features of the gun, such as no SN. Ross brought his $135 dollar grade lifter with the extremely rare bullseye stock carving. I had seen this before only on $200 grade guns in only two examples, its so rare. The stock carving has been considered a feature of some $200 grade guns, yet here it is on SN 2288, a $135 grade 2 gun. Fractured but Ross will get the stock repaired and the gun restored. Maybe others are well familiar with the details of early lifters but I learned from Ross's gun that this feature was not limited to the upper grades. Still very rare.
A new member just picked up his first Parker at a farm auction and wanted us to look at it. Pulled it out of the case, and it is a CHE 12/30 with Acme vent rib barrels, SST.
Signed up a new life member and a couple annual members.
Saw lots of old buddies and lots of contacts to go hunting .....plenty allready but always nice to have contacts. Will get write ups with Midwest Sportsman, TV shows, etc.
