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 Hammer gun
I am contemplating the purchase of an "O" grade 16 gage hammergun from 1893. I have the barrels in hand and have been measuring wall thickness, bores , etc. The bores are rough but no deep individual pits, and measure .669 all the way down both barrels with .024 and .022 chokes. I seem to remember some were made larger than the standard .662. It's to bad the bores aren't as crisp as the outside of the barrels. They show even figure and finish breech to muzzle and ring like church bells. They are marked Parker Bros. Twist and are 30" uncut. The gun is on a "O" frame according to the barrel markings. I have measured the wall thickness and all is well at .038/.040 and .090/ .092 at the breech,(3" from breech). Question is does anyone think a light hone is in order and if so, any recommendations as to who to do it. Any thoughts on 20ga./28 ga. inserts? The stock is bad which I can take care of myself. The rest of the metal work looks to have some case left and is said to lock up tight and everything functions as should. It has a fishtail top lever. I was able to get the barrels for inspection without the rest of the gun as thats 99% of whether it's worth any effort. The only reason I'm interested is the 16ga. and O frame. As is my custom I will measure wall thickness several more times to verify my findings. Any help and thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!! Lee.
