From 1945 to 1948 the matter was tossed back and forth with many inter office memos, and time studies, they even thought of buying a gun from another company and turning it into a Parker, but decided if there was going to be a Parker reinventing Remington would do it, Finally the cost proved to be to prohibitive and the decision to scrap a lot of the old Parker machinery was made. Griffin and Howe was thinking of buying some barrel machinery and start to make barrels but decided not to, and a lot of the machinery was scrapped, some of the machinery was scrapped prior to the war for the war effort.
