Parker Barrel Wedges

Harry Gietler · 02-17-2021, 06:25 PM

A While back I asked a question, does anyone know who makes or where to buy barrel wedges (0r plates) for Parker Guns. Some fellows tuned in where they bought wedges and time spent and the amount of work to install it.
Some ware I found out about Louis Rotelli (Classic Restorations) and ordered a few Wedges. The Wedges were precision machined. The time it took me from start to finish was 40 minutes! First time I ever did one. All it needed was a little fine filing and polishing. Thanks L0U.

PS--I mean the replaceable Wedge for the Locking Bolt !

Harry, I'm kinda lost.... I've always understood the barrel "wedges" to be the engraved triangular areas on the breech end of the barrels as wedges.

It is the replacable wedge for the locking bolt.

I think he means Hayes 1910
Wear Plate. It is somewhat wedge shaped.

Harry thanks for the information.

Okay... I get it now. We should all try to stick with the correct nomenclature.

Just sayin'

What ever happened to the terms "bolt plate" and "muzzle keels"? Like "timing" screws, these bastardized definitions drive me crazy!

Well you are right. Don’t go crazy but there is benefit in being precise and in using correct terminology. Barrel keels and bolt plates are correct. A peeve for me is the Parker lifter action. Not underlifter , not T lifter .

THANK YOU BRUCE!! I should have quantified my rag with the fact that we here in NOVA are in the middle of an ice storm and that there is talk of postponing (my second) COVID-19 vaccination until next week. Also due to the crappy weather we have not been able to shoot for the last 10 days. I just can't take much more of this!! Saw an ad for a Benelli Super Black Eagle all-camo 3 1/2" mag in one of the sporting gun magazines and found myself actually turning a few pages back to look at it - shudder to think what the Fausti girls would say!
