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.

More testing on my Barrels
Today I took my barrles that I had previously mentioned in the thread "Barrel Inclusion", to TSI for some testing. TSI tests metal parts for the Aerospace industry looking for flaws, weaknesses, etc. They spent 4 hours with the barrels and were fascinated by them. About 10 different specialists looked them over. Both barrels were ultrasonically measured for thickness at the breech, 6", 12" 18", 24" and the muzzle. Then the area in question was painted with penetrating dye and viewed under ultraviolet light. Next, they were put under a high resolution microscope. Finally the area was xrayed to try and determine extent of the damaged area. I've included a few pics from what was a very interesting day.
