Parker 12

[Jim Thoma]

Have a parker 12 gauge my question is when forend is off the gun it feels off face but when you put forend on feels tight(normal) is this ok or there is something that needs to be done?

[Brian Dudley]

If the gun is tight with the forend installed, I say leave it be. That is the way the gun is when you shoot it, so there should be no worries. If you notice looseness when assembled, then you can start to think about having something done.

If you start throwing money at it now, you may be fixing something that may not become a real issue. In my opinion.

Brians is correct. Leave it be you will save about 200.00 to 300.00 Dollars.

[Daryl Corona]

It's OK Jim. Parker forends were designed that way. Just keep all bearing surfaces lubed with a quality grease including the forend lug and as Brian says you should be fine.
