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.

first damascus gun. needing guidance
have been pondering buying a parker with damascus,or hammer gun. was blessed to come across a grade 2 with both. says 1882 manufacture.the frame size is 1 . barrells have a plain 4 stamp as weight. they now weigh 3lbs 8 oz. set is 30 inch long. both barrells choked at .030 . chamber length measures 2 5/8 . chambers bored to .805. barrells are curiously bored to .760/.765. by appearance it has 3/16 long forcing cone. some minor pits.
i have done extensive barrel measurements to check and recheck wall thichness
here a basic set of numbers:
breech =.160 both
2 3/4 down = .115/110
6 down=.080/,075
8 down=.065/.060
12 down=.050/.045
15 down=.040/.038
20 down =.036 both
down to where chokes start=.030
i have some loads for my vh that are 7/8 oz at 7200 psi, in 2 5/8 shells.
do i need to load lower? i can load same payload to 6000 psi with some stuff i have left. the larger bore size makes me wonder about lower pressures with same 7200 load.
any thoughts would be helpful. thanks matt k
