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 bought a never-fired 42 which I began to shoot about 15 years ago. It began to fail to feed. Took to Brad Batchelder, who apparently was the last person trained in the Winchester Custom Shop. He looked at the serial number and said "Give me a few minutes". Went behind the curtain, stroked the feed ramp with a file a few times and problem was fixed. Knowledge is king!

Yes, knowledge is king. I’ve been a railroad contractor for 20 years now and my partner retired from bnsf and has taught me and the boys everything. He is the toughest and nicest man God ever made. I owe him a lot. There are tricks of the trade that turn an 8 hour ordeal into 10 minutes. Let the rr man fix track and let the gunsmith fix guns.
Frank, I don’t know what the model is, but the serial # is 367XX and it says full choke. Tell me how to identify model and I’ll let you know. It is in pristine condition. The only thing that bothers me is the inability to shuck live rounds.
