Was at a gun show last weekend, talking to some fellows that were looking for some double guns,
when Parker Repros came up. They said they were aware of two 2 repros in their area where the barrels fell
the frame (broken lugs). They also said that some of the guys at their sporting clays shoots are scared to shoot
their repros now, and are trying to sell them before they fall apart.
Dirty Harry
Did you ask for photos, serial numbers, or details of how these guns allegedly "fell apart"? That sort of proof shouldn't be hard to find, especially when a large majority of adults has immediate access to their cell phone camera.
We still have actual photographic evidence and the serial number of exactly one Parker repro that had the barrel lug braze joint fail. I'm perfectly happy to be proven wrong, but I'm not going to jump to any conclusions based upon nothing but hearsay.
