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.

Bill and Don,The Remington Arms shot tower in Bridgeport,CT is still proudly standing in the skyline of the city.It is clearly visable from I-95 and I can almost see it from my house. I just love looking at that great old building!

This has be discussed on the old sight several times. First, the stock book does not give the weight or ounces of shot. Some orders in order books have a request for choke boring. Another point, if the gun was built for inventory, they were bored full and full. If an order was filled with an inventory gun the chokes could have been changes prior to leaving the plant and the stock book record is not changed. Note, we only have stock books after December 1919 so I may get information from a stock book but the gun was altered due to a request in the order. In my opinion, large dealers ordered most of there inventory guns full and full so they could open them per the customers desire. Most special order guns have a comment about choke boring. If there is no comment, it is full and full.
