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)

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