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.

#1 it means it was factory tested with shells of approximately twice the pressure of shells it was designed to shoot. But in no way should you ever shoot anything heavier than the gun was designed to shoot.
#2 Those 2 screws hold the forend iron to the wood. If they spin freely the wood has been stripped by overtightening the screws.
#3 A lot of people like to drop the “hammers” on snap caps but that is entirely unnecessary. You can drop the hammers if you want to but you don’t need to use snap caps. Parker even stated on hang tags and sales brochures that it will do no harm to dry fire the gun.

I have a couple of ejector guns with the same screws turning freely (stripped). I've been told not to worry about it.
