Hello Everyone
I am a new member here but not to the industry. I currently am seeking a replacement safety slide spring for a 1929 VH grade 20ga. I appreciate any sources or information that you can share.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Tom

Hi Tom and thanks for posting. I thought others would have responded by now.
Brian Dudley may have the part you need, or perhaps Matt Begeley at Black Diamond Gun Works, or Lou Rotelli. I had a broken safety slide spring on my VHE 20 but the smith that fixed it has recently passed away.
Where are you located, perhaps someone can recommend a smith in your area. A VH 20 is a sweet little gun, I have a VH and a VHE with 26" barrels and they are my favorite bird guns.
If no response here, perhaps post it on the General Parker Discussions forum or the Parker Restoration Forum. Alot of really knowlegable folks here, Im sure you will get an answer.

Mr. Pickens, thank you very much for your reply. Would you please be kind enough to private message me the details on how and where I can contact these gentlemen?
Thank you,
Tom
I recently got a message back from Matthew Horninger at Black Dog Gunworks, "Hi, thank you for contacting us. Our books are currently closed to repair and service work. I apologize for this."

Tom, I see you are in New Hampshire. You might reach out to Dan Morgan in Vermont. He has done good work for me, and may possibly be in driving distance, I hate to ship these days.

Also. I find it most unusual that nobody else has responded,.l bet if you posted in the Parker restoration thread, you might get more responses.
