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.

I have been watching for several years for a light 16 O frame. I have had two guns with O frames that were light. The first one was just under 6lbs,had lots issues that I could not deal with and sold the gun. Im thinking a light 16 did not hold up as well as a heavier gun after 100 years of use? The second O frame is in my posession but on a three day inspection. Its a two barrel set 28" and 32" PG-Dt-SF with ejectors and two for-ends, all numbers and wood color matches,its a good looking parker. The gun dates to 1908 with the 28" barrels, the 32" barrels were added later and have the parker proofed stamps on the flats, these are a good solid set of barrels, had some dents raised and has some light pitting 4" from the muzzle . With the short barrels gun weight is 6lbs-1 1/2 oz. Perfect balence! With the 32 inchers its weight is 6lbs-9 3/4oz. It shifts the weight forward a bit and is more clubby feeling. The gun is overall solid with no major issues. Its had both sets of barrels worked on and refinished, dents removed polished or honed? I question how mutch steel was removed from the 28" barrels being so light? Belly screws replaced and non widdows peak parker HRBP? I may return it to the seller?, its very scarce gun. For me... at the price of this set I may prefer a higher condition stand alone 28" gun. I wish I had a barrel thickness gauge at hand! If the barrels wall thicknes is good I would keep her. Thanks all Kenny Graft SXS ohio....(-:
