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.

It was so rusty from having been used in the rain and never cleaned; as you know bluing is used as a rust preventative, so i put the safety button and forend hardware in with the triggers and trigger guard, as well as the sear pin, and a few other pieces into the nitre bluing. Left the receiver polished as it had so much patina on it I thought it would never be cleaned. It is a nice rainy-day gun now with a little protection. There was no case-coloring left on a single piece. See the pictures on page one. These make nice gifts for a youngster whom I feel can appreciate them as I grow old and unable to hunt.
