I have been working with Joe Breda on the manufacture of key Parker parts for new manufacture. When I say key parts, we got together on this and I advised on what would be useful to manufacture from a gunsmithing/service standpoint. And I provided him with all the samples to model and manufacture samples of the parts.
As of right now we have manufactured and I have ordered in some quantities:
Oversized roll joints for extractor guns.
Made in different diameters (.440, .445 and .450). (Original used joints run .435 to .440). Manufacturing is so close to originals that they can be fitted into a frame with little additional work. This allows for refitting of the barrels to the frame with NO welding on the hook. They would need case hardening after fitting.

Parker locking bolts for hammerless guns.
This bolt is made with no taper in it. So it is a direct replacement for 1905 - 1910 guns with first style wear plate in it. Or the angle can be put into it for fitting to 1888 - 1905 guns. Or a partial angle can be put into it for 1888-1905 guns that have been fitted with the post 1910 stepped wear plate. Trip catch is machined into the bolt and hole for screw is machined and tapped.
Bolts for Top action and Lifter hammer guns will be available soon.

Other parts in the works include oversized forend latch toggle keys as well as external hammers for lifter and top action guns.
