So they should withstand much higher barrel temps from shooting correct?
I am looking into one (a sporting clays model) for a flurry gun. I do not think an original Parker could take the heat produced during a flurry event. |

I do not think they are brazed. I have blued a number of sets of Parker Repro barrels and the joints appear to be soft soldered, just like the original guns.

Well, you have to trust the literature I suppose.

John, a Parker Repro has always been my 1st and only choice when shooting both competitive and practice flurries that were part of all eleven U.P. S X S Classics and The Great Northern S X S Classic because of their brazed barrel construction. I've had supreme confidence in that they'll hold together which has been proven out scores of times that I've shot 76 birds in 2 1/2 minutes flurry events without a hiccup. Horses for courses.

I thought we did An anecdotal survey on this a few years ago. It was based on visual ID of whether solder or braze was used. But keep in mind, a very low content of alloying silver into solder, significantly raises the melting temperature while having little effect that might be identified visually.

The American Welding Society destinguishes brazing from soldering when temperatures for melting the filler material are in excess of 840F

Here's a link that might answer your questions regarding high volume / fast shooting with a Parker Reproduction.
http://parkerguns.org/forums/archive...hp?t-3076.html "In Argentina we did six days of shooting & I managed to run 10,000 rounds through it in twelve shoots. Two of the shoots were over 2000 rounds each with the high one being just over 2500. The gun took all the abuse I could hand it. When you shoot 2500 rounds in a little over three hours you can imagine how many times the gun get's opened & slammed shut let alone how hot it gets....." |
