Nope and Nope. I believe the old boat oar was used a few to many times. Has a gap of 12 thous., I have shot a few times as is. I have a feeling people have shot worse.

You are right. We have shot worse. A good gunsmith can fix it without going into the "Black Box".

We are bringing out new, over-sized roll joints for Parker guns after seeing what we felt was a void in the higher end double gun market. While I have been putting guns back on the face for many years, I'm always looking to improve my methodology. We used a variety of techniques in my shop, Tig welding the hook, hinge pin replacement, and now we are offering new roll joints. On a gun that was designed from the beginning to compensate for wear, it only seemed like a logical route to follow.We hope that some of you may find this process of interest.

I think its a great idea Steve,I've actually been trying to find the time to start making them myself for personal use

At least to start off we will only be offering this a service. Possibly in the future they be available as in the white pieces that will need to be fit and then hardened.

It is not ordinary that another set of barrels will "snap" on to a reciever that bears a different serial number. The relationship between the barrels and reciever is VERY complex and I have actually been able to "fix" a loose fit by carefull cleaning. Go slow and do nothing rash. David
