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.

Parker 20ga GH pictures
Hi,
Thanks for all the comments about the Parker. Hope you all feel the same way when you see the restoration. The original pictures are a little deceiving. The head of the stock was saturated with oil. The stock was dished out on one side near the butt plate. The action metal work looked like it was cleaned with a scaring pad. When Dale inspected the barrels he thought that the outside of the barrels including the rib may have been cleaned with naval jelly. The machining on the top rib appeared to be etched and not crisp.
I love the end result and think that Bud, Dale, and Turnbull Restoration did a fantastic job.
BTW, I have the PGCA letter.It shows that the shotgun was sent back to Parker for restocking in 1902. I was surprised to see how much figure was present after it was refinished.
