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..
My local gun emporium has a Lefever Arms Co., F-Grade, 8-gauge, serial number 12784 with 28-inch Damascus barrels and a grip safety a bit different then the grip safety shown on page 147 of Robert Elliot's book.
The muzzles look nicely crowned and finished under their decades of patina. Don't appear cut at all. While no one around here has an 8-gauge bore micrometer, I used the 10-gauge spade on mine. While it rattled around in the bore, at about two inches back from the muzzles it began to get purchase, so I'd estimate the chokes are 3 1/2 to 4 inches long.
