The Parker Reproduction Story

[Big D]

I was told that after Mr. Skeuse delivered the original to Japan, he told them to copy it exactly. When he got the first prototype back, he was disappointed in the quality of the finish, particularly on some of the internals. He was mad about some tool marks, until the Japanese showed him that there were tool marks n the original, so they copied them. Anyone else heard that?

No, I haven't heard that one . . . but, I have heard something similar . . . It has been rumored that Parker Reproductions equipped with a SST often doubled as a result from being cloned from a Remington Parker with a SST that doubled. The Repro was so well cloned from the donor gun that it, too; doubled. This rumor was regurgitated repeatedly by a prolific internet poster that thought it was his life's calling to inform the masses, others then followed by spreading this same unfounded rumor and soon virtually all SST Repros had a tainted reputation.

In a follow up to this previous post . . . I neglected to mention that this same prolific internet poster that bashed SST Repros at every opportunity presented him, currently owns two Parker Reproductions. Ironically, wouldn't you know it -- both are single trigger guns.

[C.O.B.]

I have owned a half dozen reproductions over the years and currently have several original Parkers with SST. I have never had an issue with any of them doubling.
