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.

The Etoile pattern on the Remington is gorgeous.
But the Lefever Damascus Twist pattern fascinates me, because on closer inspection, it really is woven. Not only at the riband end welds, but in the rest of the body, the pale steel billets pass over and under each other. I’ve read that the effect is due to mushrooming of the metals during hammerforging. But I don’t think so. It looks like it was woven before it was ever wrapped on the mandrel and hammer forged. Twist is underrated in my opinion. I’d like to know other’s opinions.

Three wonderful examples of why we like those hand made barrels so much.
