Hello Mr. Mason,

As I stated in my e-mail to you - please either post or PM me your real first name.

Thank you,

When Remington was trying to reintoduce the Parker in the late 80's I believe they had one liabilty concern regarding the original Parker's failure to pass what was referred to as a "Slam Test", which I think delt with the safety system. As a result, Remington was planning on modifying the original design to pass the test (not sure if the test was an industry standard, or simply a Remington in-house requirement. Does anyone know if the Repros were modified in a similar manner?
