A new Parker would be without any appreciable problems for many decades if no one ever messed with them, other than shooting and cleaning. Had the factory remained available for parts and service, Parkers would not have a reputation of being a bit fragile. Ham fisted local gunsmiths have yet to destroy the bulk of Parker Repros, but, given enough time and enough 3" 20 gauge ammunition, the Repro could go the way of original Parkers. Over the last 100 years, it seems that many Parkers reached a damaged condition by the use of large quantities of ammunition not suited for the gun.
