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.

How rare is a 1954 Winchester model 12 Heavy Duck, 30", checkered stock and forearm, with a round post vent rib? I looked at one today and its in great original condition, except for a replacement pad. Please let me know your thoughts, Thanks

not a lot of vent ribs from the factory as i understand it
to tell if it is a factory vent rib- look for the proof marks on the top where the barrel and receiver join- if the rib is factory - there will be a proof mark on the left side of the barrel near the rib- it the barrel left the factory plain - the proof would have been on the center top of the barrel and would have been covered by the add on rib
i did see one on GB a while back - checkered wood and correct marks - they do exist
