Yes, same on two of my Repros. There is no radius of the Repro ejector hammer cocking tab as there is on the original Parkers. Parker Bros. learned the importance of such a radius on the lifters which had a perfect 90 degree from the water table to the standing breech. Some of those cracked under the stress of concussion and that led to the easy remedy of cutting that angle with a small radius.


From the Parker Marketplace in the last issue of Parker Pages
and from an earlier forum topic -

I bought one of these and the precision is incredible!...
