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.

Question about forend checkering patterns on BH(E)'s

I have a BHE bottom gun 111xxx, circa 1902 that letters as a BH. It now has ejectors and forend checkering that is not consistent with BH"s made in 1902. The top gun shows what would be typical of the early period. When did Parker go to the full forend checkering on the BH(E)'s?? Can I assume that the conversion to ejectors was made during that later period and when would that be??? I assume when a gun was converted to ejectors new forend wood was required?? Thanks Craig
