So did some others.. and very well I might add.

A few years back Cyril was shooting a 34" Parker and I was shooting a Syracuse on a friendly helice match, both w/'self opening' issues from too much wear. I know we both got them repaired by different gunsmiths. He'd mentioned at the time that he had that Parker repaired for that same issue more than once, but if you shot them enough that you expected it to happen. I don't recall the grade or even if it had one or two triggers even tho he offered it to me to shoot, just that the pull was way longer than whot I would have been comfortable shooting. His sleeve length was probably several inches longer than mine. I declined the generous offer.
