			I want to thank everyone who posted idea's on how to fix my problem.  Last week I sent the gun to Brad Bachelder for repair.  When it comes back (in about six weeks) I will let everyone know how it turned out.

			Earlier this year, my 28 Ga Reproduction had the dolls-head extension come loose, and I thought it probably couldn't be fixed, until I read a comment from Brad Bachelder. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Long story short; I sent it to Brad..........he fixed it........I shoot it all the time now, and no more problems. Here's to Brad! Sam Ogle, Lincoln, NE  |

			Here is my update on having the 28 gauge fixed. (got it back sooner than I thought I would) 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Picked up the gun today. Since I live only a couple hours away I was able to go to Brad's business to get it. Brad personally reviewed the work with me and I am very satisfied. Since the fix is to the ejectors on the barrel, and that I have a two barrel set, he inspected the other barrel and said it looked ok but that I should keep an eye on it before it fails. I will probably sent it to him next winter for the fix. He even checked out some other potential problems that can plague a reproduction. At a very reasonable price I have a gun I can use again without fear of failure. A big thanks to Brad!  |

			Please take picture of the screw stop installed and your reactions after you shoot it and if you think the ejector kick out the shells as well, I know his fix is the best 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I too am getting 3 28repro barells done and 3 more the next time as I get my shipping case back from Bill Schwartz  |

			You title this thread, 'Frustrated with Repair Work'. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	My Repro has been in the repair shop, for nearly 3 years ..... ( am a very 'easy going' sorta fella. Lol )  |

			I can not imagine waiting 3 years for a repair. If you have a gun in a shop that long for a repair, not some fine custom gun job there is a good chance the Smith lacks skill to be working on your Parker. Too many real good quality guys to choose from.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Many good Gun Smiths understandably will have a backlog of work, but a 3 year wait runs up a big red flag to me that something is just not right.  |

			Get your gun out of that shop right now. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			If it is within a day's driving time you should go there personally. Give the guy a heads up and tell him when you'll be there, but be firm. .
