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.

Replacing a flat buttplate with spurred

I have a 20 ga VH (circa 1908 or thereabouts) with a spurred buttplate. It's beautiful, and the gun has been in my family for almost 100 years. I am purchasing a 16 ga. later era gun (1927) with a flat buttplate. Please don't shun me for this question: I am not attempting blasphemy, but would it be possible to inlet a spurred buttplate to replace the flat one (which is chipped, by the way)? I'm not concerned about what this will do to the value (please don't judge --- this will go to a great grandson some day, and continue its journey through the generations, if my wishes are fulfilled). Has anyone here fit a spurred plate to a gun that had a flat plate? I just love the spurred plate and am not a fan of the flat one. Any information would be helpful.
