It is very common to have a slight amount of lateral play in a Parker when it is open and the forend is on. If the gun is on face and the lever is centered upon closing there is no problem. In fact I have a couple of guns with the lever a little left of center that are still tight and on face. I believe that the difference in the water table slot and the barrel lug contributes a little to this.

Dave - While it might be common to see Parkers with the lateral movement, I would venture that this is the result of wear, not that the gun left the factory that way. And I have two guns that were recased in the past by other owners with levers to the right and a slight lateral wobble in the barrels. I attribute that to changes in the frame caused by the recase coloring process.

Could very well be Ed. Maybe Eric will chime in here he has a as new skeet gun. Maybe he can assemble it and tell us of any lateral play. Boy wouldn't it be nice to be able to back to the factory and ask them?
