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.

Not wood that is one a gun, but someday will be.

Last week I had the opportunity to buy 42 high quality stock blanks from the estate of a since passed gunsmith that was a friend of a friend of my family. He passed 5 years ago and was a life long practicing general gunsmith. Primarily working on and building custom rifles.

In the lot was Circassian (english, turkish, french), Bastogne, Claro and American. All of it is very old. He had everything dated, not sure if they were cut dates or purchase dates, but the oldest date is 1959 and the newest is 1973!

Now I just need to find room to store it all. On top of the nearly 150 blanks that I already had on hand.

As an aside... there was about 20 blanks of very nice Myrtle that I left behind since I do not work with it, so if anyone may know an interested party... let me know.
