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.

Very interesting gun as well as history on it. My wife is from Ransomville and went to Wilson High School. It is neat that the gun was from that area.
The letter states the gun was a quality 2 which is a head scratcher since everything about the gun would suggest an 0 or 1 grade. Ie: the barrel steel type, lack of checkering and lack or engraving. A quality 2 would be expected to have damascus barrels, checkered wood and some engraving.
It looks like the gun has been fitted with another stock by the factory since the time that the letter leaves off. And the fitment of it is perfect factory quality.

Brian,
I always wondered if when it was returned the first time to install the rubber butt is when the stock changed. Considering the cost of bending the stock it could have been changed at that time perhaps.
