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..
Here's mine. A 12 ga. T/A on the 1-frame No. 36488
I kinda like the extra screw head engraved on the bolsters. I guess the engraver added it for a balanced appearance - the plunger lock screw being above center on the bolster.
Anyway, this is one of my project guns. The wood is now nicely refinished and the barrels are next. The trigger guard and skeleton butt plate are done (I've shown them before) but I can't decide how to proceed with the frame....
Barrels are 30" and chokes haven't been touched.
I researched the name of the man who ordered the gun and got a nice reference to him from an old 1900 newspaper article... See below.
Since these pictures were taken I have replaced the wrong hammer on the right with one that matches the left hammer.
