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.

What a Surprise!
Some fifteen or so years ago I bought this 0-frame 16 gauge GH from a friend at my Skeet club. I liked it for obvious reasons but of special interest to me was the engraving which seemed a bit more detailed and finely executed than most other G’s I’ve seen since. It has 26” Damascus barrels with IC/MOD chokes and some pretty nice wood - about the quality of wood we expect to see on a grade-2 of that era (1893).
More than 10 years ago I bought an orphan set of 28” Damascus barrels in 20 gauge. I’ll be sending it all off to Dave Fjelline to fit the 20 gauge barrels to it… they are very close but need some fine fitting and reshaping the forend lug for a nice tight fit.
Just on a whim I sent for a research letter on it a few days ago. I usually don’t order a letter on such a pedestrian Parker but I’m sure glad I did this time!!

Dean,
Perhaps I haven't had enough coffee yet this morning, but what was the surprise? I am assuming the letter said something you were not expecting?
