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.

"This is why we adopt our policy on wall thickness , in order as practical gunmakers to give you , our customers , good service and peace of mind "
good service and piece of mind... hopefully, this is a goal of all double gun sellers.
.025 may be ok for the british, where pressures are typically less than what we experience; but, that is why i like .030 as a minimum standard for fluid steel barrels. and even more for twist and damascus barrels... better safe, than sorry.

For my part, the Gibbs standard as presented is beyond reproach. And I'm sure the professional barrelmakers whom I know would agree.
Of course, anyone is free to adopt their own yardstick. With any rationale they care to apply.
Best, Kensal
