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.

After removing a layer of what looked like clear cerakote and a layer of a rust neutralizer, the barrel had external pitting completely covering the length of both tubes.
I know that whether to refinish or not can be subjective, but this barrel had been terribly neglected by a previous owner, and “restored” by someone. It needed a lot of help.
Striking and polishing is the part of what I do that I enjoy the least. It’s dirty and makes my hands ache.
Here is a “during” pic with 95% of the pits removed, in the white, finally ready to start the process. I measured periodically, and this 2frame had plenty of thickness.
Have patience, and I will have “after” pics in a couple months.

Thank you so much for posting this and the beautiful job you are doing. Glad I got the gun back from my brother in-law. Remember it as my dad's in the 50s. But never saw him use it.
