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 shoot black powder it the old beauty that is what it was built to shoot ? Do not want to get into the smokeless power in Damascus debate shooting it with smokeless is not nitro proof testing the barrels.

I don't use black powder because of all the disadvantages it provides that include; a corrosive residue that gets into the receiver I can't easily clean, a much greater amount of work, effort and mess to clean the gun, not being able to see the target immediately after the shot, a much shorter life of expensive 10ga hulls I use for reloading and finally the increased safety risk when reloading shells for it with black powder. Smokeless powder was a wonderful invention.
