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.

they seem to be good guns i have a 12 ga with steel barrels and it has killed a few turkeys for me..i lentghed the chambers to 3 1/2 inch it really shoots well but is a shoulder bruiser with the 3 1/2 inch loads of 2 1/4 ounce..weighs in at 7 3/4 lbs...in my opinion they are made of good stuff a 20 ga would be a fine gun to add to anybody s collection...charlie

Charlie: almost all American Gun Co. marked Crescent shotguns were manufactured prior to the introduction in 1922 of the Western Cartridge Co. 12 gauge ‘Super-X Field’ 2 3/4 inch 1 1/4 ounce 3 3/4 dram equiv. shell. The gun was designed for 1 1/4 oz. 3 dram loads. It is quite likely that the wall thickness at the end of your chambers is now inadequate, and a catastrophic rupture is possible, if not likely.
Brother, do what you want, but please do not have a child nearby when you fire one of your turkey loads.
