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 have seen truely uncut Trojan barrels or untrimmed barrels that look exactly like these.
The location of the bead looks right and does not suggest any trimming to me.
Did anyone think they might have just been made that way?
Remember that Trojans were not as finely finished as the other grades. This carries on to the rib matting termination as well.

Nope.... The records show twenty-eight inches and this set is 27 15/16"
