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.

Let’s not get too carried away. It’s a humorous poke at our unique devotion to old American boxlocks. We can take a joke from our British cousins. The TGS videos are fantastic and I’ve learned a lot through them, particularly about British guns and game shooting. The Brits made and continue to make incredible shotguns. Ours were crude by comparison. And that’s OK. We love our Parker, Fox, LC Smith, Winchester, Remington and so many other great American shotguns. They speak to us as Americans, machine tool marks and all. And do you know that top two selling shotguns in the UK? Browning and Beretta. John Browning’s design is wildly popular with Brits, far more than anything they produce. Hell, very few people can afford a new British gun. They make a small number of the highest quality guns each year for the wealthy. The industry they created has been taken over by others. We owe them a huge debt of gratitude for developing the modern shotgun, and shotgun sports in general. They have refined and perfected both to an amazing level. We’re big enough to take a little jab. Their guns are the guns of kings and nobility. Ours put food on the table, feeding millions. Both are something to be very proud of.

The funny thing is the only SBT I ever owned that I could never go 25 straight with was the only English SBT I ever owned. A Purdey. Beautiful gun and extremely well made, but I could never get tuned into her.
