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.

Boingyness? I like that.
No doubt springs, coil or otherwise loose a certain amount strength, either tension or compression, but this will come with normal use early on, cocking and firing, bouncing down the road, whatever. Beyond that initial "creep", remaining under tension or compression won't contribute further to it. One whole semester in the dynamics lab was a lot of fun trying to do what wasn't supposed to happen.

I leave mine cocked. I have both ejector and non ejector guns. If the hammer is tripped and you take the forearm off an ejector gun then the fun really begins
