I think most everyone here would love seeing spare parts being made. It would be awesome if the Parker Repro parts ever surfaced, but they were supposedly damaged or destroyed. That being said, IMHO even with modern CNC it’s not something that makes a lot of sense due to the low volume and high cost of custom fixtures, programming and tooling. Simple turned parts can be made economically on a lathe or Swiss screw machine but there aren’t many simple rounds parts from a Parker that are in short supply and high demand. There are still old parts and guns being parted out every day for major components. Galazan used to offer more commodity like items such as screws, since these are always buggered up it seems. I think a lot of us would love to see new sets of barrels available, but Simmons and a few others recently tried this and it wasn’t successful or economical for a variety of reasons.
