I think most everyone here would love seeing spare parts being made. It would be awesome if the Parker Repro parts ever surfaced, but they were supposedly damaged or destroyed. That being said, IMHO even with modern CNC it’s not something that makes a lot of sense due to the low volume and high cost of custom fixtures, programming and tooling. Simple turned parts can be made economically on a lathe or Swiss screw machine but there aren’t many simple rounds parts from a Parker that are in short supply and high demand. There are still old parts and guns being parted out every day for major components. Galazan used to offer more commodity like items such as screws, since these are always buggered up it seems. I think a lot of us would love to see new sets of barrels available, but Simmons and a few others recently tried this and it wasn’t successful or economical for a variety of reasons.

Both Breda Machine and Brian Dudley either make Parker Parts, or do reverse engineering of parts, or have access to Parker parts. There is no shortage.
As far as firing pins for hammerless Parkers goes, the firing pin and the hammer are one integral part and almost never break. .

Was not Tom Carter making plungers ( firing pins) for those who needed them for external hammer Parkers ? The lifter action guns had an offset pin plunger that is known to break. I have not known the straight plungers of top action guns to break.
Internal hammer Parkers do not have firing pins. Ed Morgan made a supply of safety link jackets. |

Dave Purnell in Maryland was making the offset pins but Brian, by mutual agreement, took over that project. Tom Carter makes the hammer screws.
