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.

What are my options?
I have a lovely 26" VH 0 frame 16 with 26" barrels at 6lbs choked IM/F.
I believe she is not regulated. I can correct the drop with a pad as she shoots 65/35 and has too much drop for me. BUT here's the issue. The RIGHT barrel shoots high 65/35 RIGHT so the left edge of the pattern is on the centerline, and the LEFT barrel shoots high 65/35 LEFT so the right edge lines up on the centerline. Almost like some sadistic bastard did this by design. I thought I was crazy and had others shoot it and this is what she is. So here are my options unless others have ideas I haven't thought of:
1. Put full length fitted 28g tubes a la Koneski from Briley in there but I'm not sure that fixes the regulation? I HATE interchangeable chokes more than NBA basketball but if the new tubes regulate it I'd consider it. I'd hate to mess up the sweet balance of this wand.
2. Send it to Briley to put chokes in to regulate them, then I'm stuck with screw in chokes which I've mentioned are as desireable as an emema.
3. Send it to someone like Eyster to regulate the choke and shoot it to pattern centrally, opening them to a woodcock/grouse gun like C/IC to spread the pattern?
4. Have the barrels regulated? Is that even possible?
5. Sell it. Which I hate to do.
Ideas welcome and hope I'm not missing something. I'll say at sporting clays at 20-30 yards I can't hit crap with it, but I love her none the same.
She is deadly on L-R crossers with the R barrel and deadly with R-L crossers on the L barrel but I'm not built to think that quickly : )
