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.

[QUOTE=edgarspencer;417802]Collectors Firearms has been around a long time, and is a first rate company. I suspect Mike is away at the annual 4 day Colt Collectors Association meeting.
They did send me a message today answering my main question. Barrel wall thickness on left barrel form .022-.030, right .028-.033
They also sent a couple pictures that I asked for.
What is the minimum wall thickness that is considered safe to shoot? (Low pressure shells, of course)

Many will say .025" is the minimum for Damascus if you are uncertain about the load. Personally, I am not concerned if it's over .020" because I know my loads.
