Weep Holes

[Gerald McPherson]

Are weep holes normal on Remington Parkers? Gerald

[Dave Suponski]

Yes sir. They are.

[Ralph English]

On Remington Parkers produced after production was moved to Ilion, NY (APROX. SN 241156), will have a weep hole in the barrels bottom rib (just in front of the forend loop). Remington Parkers produced prior to the move in Meriden, CT, did not have the weep hole. (Page 161, THE PARKER STORY)

[Dave Suponski]

Very true Ralph. Thanks for correcting my previous post.

[Gerald McPherson]

Were they hot blued or rust? Thanks.

[Ralph English]

Gerald, "Rust" blued in Meriden, CT. "Hot-salt bluing process, or some process which required temperatures in excess of boiling water ..." in Illion, NY.
