Tang Screw
My own experience with the five Parkers that I have used regularly at trap skeet and five stand for the last ten years is about one turn per thousand shots. This varies by plus or minus a half turn among the individual guns but is a good rule of thumb.
Be a little lenient with exposed hammer guns. Minute changes in the stock and fore end wood can (apparently?) cause thirty degree changes in the top tang or fore end latch screws.
I have had two apparently perfect hammer screws loose heads due to metal fatigue. I am looking for a supplier of unbrako screws to use modern 4 40 screws when shooting them.
Best, Austin
