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.

A friend spied a AAHE 12 gauge bird gun at Butterfield's in California some years ago. The description included "barrel walls under recommended minimums" the British norm as far as descriptions of overhoned barrels go. I found the gun in a Parker Brothers Abercrombie and Fitch order where it was described as a 6 1/2 pound gun to be made "light as possible". My friend was able to purchase the gun for about $10,000 because of the cautious description. When the gun arrived, it was found to be in high unmolested condition with absolutely original bores. Do your homework and you will be rewarded.

I think that Julia's does a tremendous job cataloging their sales. Thats why they get such high sales prices for their customers. And they get rewarded when they bring in the big bucks, so there is incentive for them to do a good job.
Just think if they were a branch of the USPS.........They would charge a high commission, get a low sales price and then lose the gun.
