Remington quality?

[Dean Romig]

Remington purchased the Parker gun works but didn't "reproduce" the Parker Gun. The manufacture of the Parker Gun never ceased during this transition and it continued to be manufactured in Meriden CT from the date of purchase, in January of 1934, until sometime in 1937 when the Parker operation was moved to the Ilion NY location.

[Autumn Daze]

It is true that Remington Parkers had great wood on them for the most part. Looking at it from the stand point of construction,once Remington started making their own barrels for the Parker Gun they were made from Chrome -Moly tubing.The same material Remington made all their shotgun barrels from. In that sense later Remington Parkers were better constructed guns.
