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.

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.


Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug

Filthy rumors - nothing more. The Parker Reproductions are as dependable as any other well-made gun in their price range.

I say Operator Error... (if these claims ever actually happened).

Filthy shame:

It happens. I’ve seen three examples that look exactly like this, took a picture of one. I doubt it is an epidemic, and, I really don’t care as I’m not and will never be an owner.

Best,
Ted

Why could this not be rebrazed?

Some talented gunsmith will make a business of taking care of this problem, if there is a problem.

Sure. The world is crawling with talented gunsmiths. I can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a couple of ‘em.

How can Operator Error explain the photo Ted just posted?

I especially like the dead cat part.

Talented Gunsmiths Like ''Arts'' will fix them at around $1000.00 per gun. That's why there are a load of them for sale
by a load of dealers and most if not all are on consignment !


Dirty Harry

P.S, That 2 more comes to, lets see, 22 Repro's with barrels falling off. (That we know of) That comes to $22,000 for some ''Talented'' gunsmith.
One thing I am almost sure of, there aren't any talented gunsmiths on the Parker gun site that can handle this Repro Problem. So I would think
the Parker Boys will be coming on the ''Double Gun site'' for Guidance.
