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.

Imagine how much barrel weight had to be removed in the contouring/finishing process. A significant amount I suspect. I also suspect that barrel making in those days was not an exacting process. It was up to the skilled barrel finisher to make a set fit the parameters for a given gun. Some required quite a bit of metal removal and some not so much. The weight stamp probably helped with the selection of a set of barrels for a given application, minimizing the work required. Even back in those days time = money.
