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 had earlier mentioned the Galazan straight grip guards for Parkers. I just got mine in the mail that I ordered for my old lifter. It is good, but not an exact reproduction. They got the thread pitch correct and it screws right on. The tang is about an inch shorter than an original parker guard and the screw holes are spaced closer together as well. The screw holes are drilled, but not countersunk. Also the actual guard loop is a bit more rounded than the originals. Also, the angles of the end of the tang are too sharp, but that can be corrected with a file.
Basically, they are good for new work, but not as a replacement on an existing stock.

Galazan makes great products, but not always exact repros.
I bought the straight guard for a Fox and found it was narrower and the thread on the post did not match. Since the post was a little larger, I did manage to find a correct die and recut them. The guard sufficed until the extended one arrived from Turnbull, which fit as it should
