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.

A Parker Bros. 12-gauge with chambers that measure 2 5/8 inches is intended for 2 3/4 inch shells. Being from 1927, such a gun, in sound condition, should handle any SAAMI spec, lead, 2 3/4 inch 12-gauge shell. Whether 93 year old wood is up to that may be another question.
Since the introduction of progressive burning powder, high velocity, loads in 1922, the great bulk of these old guns have digested many boxcar loads of them. I'm sure my Grandfather's heavy 1890 vintage PH-Grade that my Father was using at King Lake in 1932, digested lots of them.
