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 forgot I also have a Grade o i think it is 10 gauge top lever hammer gun on a 2 frame that left the factory with two sets of barrels one 26" damascus and the other are 30" twist . And it letter that way .
With the 26" barrels and my 1 1/8 ounce loads it makes a fair to middilin skeet gun . With that gun it's no problem shooting 90% or more with relative ease ,

My PHE trap has 30" vent rib Parker Steel barrels, beavertail forend, and 26" vent rib Vulcan steel barrels, factory installed later, with splinter forend. Crossover stock by William Powley, Mifflintown, PA, probably from the forties or fifties. The gun was owned by the great pigeon shooter, Eddie Plank, who managed the Chalfont Gun Club, in Chalfont, PA, a great pigeon club until the seventies or eighties. It was known as the Bucks County Shooting Association. Plank's father was the famous ballplayer of the same name. He hosted ballplayers for pheasant hunts at his Adams County, PA farm in the offseason. Oddly, I shot with Bill Powley when I was a teenager and shot at the Chalfont club with my dad about the same time, when I was about 15 years old. This club had the first full 360 degree rotation clay target pigeon ring I had ever seen, before or since. Park your car at your own risk. My old pigeon gun is not a VH, but an uncommon host of features in a lower grade Parker. Oh yes, it certainly has a Miller trigger in the front position, like most Pennsylvania pigeon guns of that era.
