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.

Parker acquisition, badly abused
 I was given this elegant (used & badly abused) 12 ga. Parker Bros. shotgun. I want to restore it, but realize it will take a lot of hard work and labor. It is a grade 1 (K), Frame size #2, ; serial number (90797) made in 1899 according to my meager research. It has a very nice (Vulcan Steel) barrel. However, nice on the inside but with surface rust on th exterior, I believe it has been re stocked, but am not sure. The stock does not match the grip wood under the barrel. I know the former owner (deceased) and he killed many turkeys with it years ago! Don't believe he ever cleaned it. He did not take care of this wonderful work of art. It is very dirty but sound and will yield to a complete clean up. It needs a sear spring (old style). I do not know where to find one. I am in no hurry and am trying to learn how to dismantle and remantle such a very complex but beautiful action! I am dismayed at the mulated screw heads! can clean them up, but would prefer to just replace them with new stock if available! I cannot believe that such a masterpeice could have been machined in 1899, but here it is! Please help me bring back this masterpeice and quality firearm! I will send photos when I can.
