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.

I have no idea why and shoot the Remington shells exclusively. I do not "snap" the gun shut - I release the lever before closing it tight. Good luck - these are great guns!

My understanding from Chris Dawe at Stillwater Restorations is that this is a pressure issue. Higher pressure ammo. I get the same thing shooting 1 1/8oz/1255fps Winchester Super X field loads through my Ithaca NID4E yet I can put Eley Bismuth loads of 1 1/4oz 1250 fps loads through without issue. Chris advised me to not to continue shooting loads with higher pressures and to search for or reload low pressure loads or risk eventually putting the gun off face. I heeded his advice after 5 rounds and have been running low presdure 1oz loads ever since w/o a hitch.
