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.

About 18 years ago I was involved in the manufacture of Ithaca Classic Doubles. At that time management wanted a buttplate similar to the Ithaca plates but one that reflected the ICD logo. After getting a price of 10K to make a single compression mold to duplicate a hard rubber buttplate in England, it was decided to have a mold master made of brass in Italy for 3K from which rubber molds could be made for 20-25 dollars each. Based on 1999 prices you would need 50K to make the tooling necessary to duplicate the minimum of hard rubber buttplates for Parker shotguns. Finally Brian is right about the urethane buttplates, I threw an ICD reject buttplate onto the cement floor as hard as I could and it didn't even chip. Now you decide whats best.

A "gentle" fall from the top of a gun safe to a cement floor (quite accidental, not an experiment) for this 110 year old gutta percha plate. Not sure how the plastic plates will fare in 110 years.
