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.

Why not just fit up a set of barrels from another gun? If the right set is used and all details are handled properly, they will be assumed to be the original set. And it will likely be less espensive than having a new set made.
And i can assure you that if the barrel set is made and finished over there, what comes back (though it would be quality work) will not look like a set of Parker barrels.
The only way i see having a set made is if it is for a 28g or .410. For larger gauges,finding used barrels is a very realistic option. Especially for 16 and 12.

But sometimes this is entirely impossible, much like finding a needle in a haystack, and you could spend years - even decades - in trying to find, for instance, a set of 32" DD Damascus barrels for a 1-frame 12 gauge lifter......
