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.

GH 16 Resurrection...
A while back I bought a forlorn GH 16 O Frame..Straight Grip..Joe Dreish sold it to me..along with an original near mint VH O frame straight grip stock---which he said I would need. The barrels were rough...BUT...I had a near perfect set of barrels...28"/double ivory/ perfect bores. Joe said the stock was rough..and he sent pictures.. It had a pin through the head...cracked through the wrist...a chip at the toe..and missing slivers at the top tang..and the lower tang. Other than that..it was nice..The stock went off to Brian Board....who called me and asked why I was mad at him for sending such a mess...My barrels went to Bill Schwarz.. Who fitted them and did the refinish. The barrels and receiver were 5,000 numbers apart..and they snapped on near perfect.Brian made a cut from the edge of the toe chip to the top of the heel, added a Silvers pad..Screws are very nice..and just a touch of color. . I have an identical one with a pistol grip..I'm calling it finished...j..
