These guns have complex trigger mechanisms and need experienced Parker gunsmiths to tune them up. Reproductions can be a pain to maintain but they are so delightful to shoot the effort is worthwhile. The 28ga and 16ga are my favorites.

Which begs the question, for such a 'new' gun (30ish years old) why would several dozens of them have needed either skilled or unskilled gunsmiths repairing these single triggers if there wasn't a weakness in them from the start? Was it a design subject to failure.... or was it that the single trigger mechanism was not properly assembled/polished/tested right from the manufacturer?
I agree that they are a delight to shoot but I don't understand the "pain to maintain"? How so?
