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.

Before you continue looking for graded Parkers to purchase, you should own a Manson wall thickness gauge and a bore micrometer. The total cost will be less than the expense of insured shipping for such a gun. If the barrels on this A Grade are acceptable, it would be worth thousands more than if they were too thin.

How would I owning a wall thickness and a bore gauge save the cost of insured shipping?
Note: I purchase guns relatively infrequently. When I do, I have a couple of local friends that have these pieces of equipment, I always offer to pay them for the couple of minutes that it takes them to measure, but they have always refused any compensation. If we found barrels thin most, if not all, sellers would require the buyer responsible for return shipping, no?
