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.

Joe, I've never done checkering but I'm not sure you could even out the spacing on the checkering. That has always been one of my major dislikes about the Repros is the poor checkering. Some rows are very well spaced and some are not. If they were recut even I think it might really mess things up, but then again I'm not a guy that does checkering. At least it is hand cut and not done with a laser, which I hate.

Gerry, I've cleaned up the checkering on most of the guns I've owned and it's possible to make it look much better, although sometimes not perfect. It also allows the wood figure in the checkered area to show up better. Parker Reproductions in particular seem to have many flat topped diamonds and the lines often aren't cut to the edge of the pattern. The spacing can often be improved a lot.
