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.

small bore flinter

saw this at an antique show last weekend - unfortunately, it wasn't a good location to get good photos (the camera gear was in the truck anyway, so this is just a cell phone shot) and i did not have any measuring tools with me.

but still, I thought some might enjoy a teaser picture of a true survivor

a small bore (looks to be about a .410) flintlock double shotgun

barrels were about 30", bores looked good with a key ring flashlight

Ketland locks - twist barrels - rib marking only says "London"

weight wise - just a guess but 7 to 7 1/2 pounds or so

The modestly figured wood looked very good, no noticeable powder burn on the wood behind the frizzen area, so unless it was refinished long ago, it wasn't used heavily

anyway - here is at least a peak at it
