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.

Brian, in reading the PGCA letter, I take the comment about "light as can" to refer to the 16 gauge bird barrels. The unstruck weight of the barrels is 4-15. A swamped set of 28" 16 gauge barrels could be made well over a pound lighter than the 20 gauge barrels, making a seven pound or less gun. Jay, the gun sold for $4725 plus shipping.

I am surprised that no chamber length was requested. My old (long gone) #2 frame 32" 20, #153,333, also ordered in April 1910 by Orren R. Dickey, was ordered with 2 7/8" chambers for 3" shells. Another big 20 was ordered about the same time by Iver Johnson in the identical configuration, also with long chambers. Does anyone know where my old gun, #2 frame 20, 32" barrels, ball grip, original dogs head butt, #153,333, is? I would make a generous offer to get it back.
