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.

I along with most folks who like to shoot vintage guns, hope lead is never banned,  but if it were, don’t you think non-toxic shot alternatives will drop in price? If they are the only game in town, then I would imagine capitalism will take over and lower the prices. More volume, lower prices. Maybe I am just dreaming, but I would hope it would

Stephen,
I hope you're correct but I'm pessimistic about that happening. Given that most vintage barrel friendly non-toxic ammo is tungsten based, I don't see it getting less expensive. Raw tungsten is costly, limited in supply and in high demand http://www.forbes.com/sites/ciocentr...u-should-care/
As I'm only 40 and hope to be hunting for a long time, a few years ago I started buying up Bismuth, Kent TM, etc... whenever I could find it for a good price. My last sizeable score was 15 or 20 boxes of 2 3/4" 12ga Kent TM 1 3/8oz 5s for around $20 a box. I foolishly shared that find with another member here  (hope you're still enjoying them Daryl).
I have no doubt that lead will be banned in my lifetime.
Cheers,
Marcus
