Per The Parker Story on page 163... "At some date in the 1960's, which we have not been able to establish precisely, Remington discontinued service work on Parker guns and referred customers to other firms. One such firm was founded by Larry DelGrego, who left Remington in 1955 and established his own repair business in Ilion specializing in Parkers and Remington Model 32's. The Frank Lefever Co., in Lee Center, NY, was another firm to which Remington referred Parker Repair work."
