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.

Dean, I never met Austin, but have read your many accounts of him (and some articles he wrote in old copies of PP). For what it’s worth, I’m sure he’d be pleased to know you’re caring for his gun and to some degree, his legacy.

I also have one of Austin's favorite guns, a #3 frame 32" 12 gauge lifter gun. Austin referred to it as his "skeet gun". I first saw it before Austin owned it. I didn't buy it then, and was always sorry I missed it. Good news is that I have it now.
