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.

Restocking a 12g. Repro for a few reasons

This 12g. Repro DHE eventually suffered the fate that many do and that is a wrist break. Right behind the action tang. On top of that, the owner shoots a very long LOP and he has a couple inches of spacers and a recoil pad on the stock before it broke. The stock breaking was the deciding factor in him opting for a restock.
A new stock was made for it to match the dimensions of his original with the spacers added. A whopping 16" LOP over the recoil pad from the Single trigger. I beefed up the wrist a little to improve on the profile of the original reproduction stocks to both add strength and also improve the proportions of the gun. A sprayed Pro Custom finish in satin was used in order to mimic the look of the finishes used on the repros. The forend was also refinished and checkering cleaned up.

With new and stronger wood, this gun will shoot for a lifetime, plus some.
