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.

The blueing on your barrels is very thin and it would sure make the barrels look good, but then, what about the rest of the gun??

You have graciously accepted some awesome advice here on the PGCA discussion forum- which is why, as a novice Parker person like you, I appreciate this place so much.
I would just throw in that, aside from the fact that your great grandfather's gun is an American gem (I don't care what grade it is,) it is most importantly a part of your family's history with stories to tell. Whether you decide to blue the barrels or not just document in writing what you have done and who did it. It becomes part of the Parker's provenance and increases its value to those whom you pass this on to after your departure from the earth. Two of my most prized possessions are my great grandfathers deer rifle and my grandfathers .45. When your great grandson, or great granddaughter or great great nephew inherits this they will then own their 4 times great grandfather's Parker...what a great story...now I want to research to see if there's a discussion thread here where members share photos and stories of their forbears firearms!...
Best of luck!
