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.

Remington paid over $750,000 just for the right to make Parker guns. During the seven years of production they produced a little over 6200 guns. They were plagued by high production costs and a dwindling market for high-quality doubles.

I wonder if that 6,400 includes both Meriden and Ilion production?

According to The Parker Story, the total Remington production of Parker guns was 6,224: 4,629 in Meriden and 1,595 in Ilion.
