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 would love to shoot this gun. It has a great feel and is light for a 12. Sadly, it is not mine but a good friend's, and he has never entertained the idea of shooting it. The rib is engraved St. Marys Works Birmingham. It has 30 barrels that are quite light and still show some nice damascus pattern. On my guage they measured IC/IC. The chambers appear to be 2 1/2. Ser # is 13095.
Would love to introduce this gun to my setters and some pheasants.
hmm, me thinks I would like a hammer gun!

As long as the bores are good and barrel walls not too thin, there is no reason not to shoot the gun. RST loads in the 1100 -1150 fps range should be fine.
BTW... I believe I may have handled this gun at the Southern SxS this Spring. Or, one very much like it.
And yes... one English hammer gun just leads to another... and another.
