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..
Thanks for commenting on the new single barrel. If I could think of anything more risky than buying an ex-ATA gun sight unseen, I would run for office. Well, I got it today and it is outrageous. Original uncut straight grip wood with what is probably the original Silvers pad, probably the original finish. The wood is quite fancy in the butt half like American Walnut, but the dark streaking in the front half is a giveaway that it is really an exceptional piece of English. Bore, screws, and wood finish is great. Yes, I said the screws are perfect. Yup, the receiver is blued, probably a quicky cold blue applied by a fussy owner. It really looks great, a totally original, untouched SC with a touch of cold blue and the lever to left of center. I couldn't be happier. As soon as I hit the last bid button on the computer, I suddenly remembered all the butchered trap guns I had seen over the years. It's just the luck of the Irish.

I won't be coming to the shoot next weekend, not because I don't want to, but because I am prepaid to the Chantilly, Virginia show. I have high hopes the Parker single barrel trap owners will get together like the Fox guys did at the Northeastern Shoot. The picture taken of the Fox singles at that shoot was just astounding. That was more Fox singles grouped together since they were at the factory. Maybe we could do the same with Parker singles.
Congrats, Murph....sounds like you plucked another 'dandy' from the pond!
Indeed, our 2011 gathering of Fox SBT's out at HH made for one hell of a photo opp. !! So when are we going to get all of these great Parker,Fox and Smith trap guns out on the line in the hopes of manufacturing a little "diesel smoke?" Addieville is less than 60 days away. Any takers??? Hmmmmmmmm.

Great photo!! I wonder what the total number of targets the SBTs have crushed, championships won, etc.? They reek class especially when racked up with their modern versions.
