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.

One of the nice things about shooting antique double barrel shotguns is that they will likely fall open when the lever is pressed. I've never owned a new break open gun that did. Not that it makes all that much difference, but it kinda does.
One of the things I like about my ancient and well used Superposed is that it falls totally open at the flip of the switch and since it is an O/U, which has to open farther than a sxs, it is convenient and fast.
To me, any break open gun that falls right open, is a pleasure. A little wiggle? I don't care.

Hi Steve. 
The only new o/u gun to fall open from new was the good old winchester 101.
I had a 12-bore-LTW-with a straight hand stock . I did like that gun but sold it on as you do i now wish i still had it  .
All the best Dave.
