Help with an oddly marked Parker

[Dean Romig]

I wonder why.... do the makers of the barrels not have the ability to cut the slots in the underside of the doll's head and install the stop plate?...... or do they simply see the weakness of Parker Bros. design and engineering?

I think from a manufacturing standpoint, the stop screw is a much easier/inexpensive way to accomplish the same goal.

The stop plate in the doll's head is definitely a weakness in design in an original Parker. This has been discussed on this forum before. The stop screw, as on the gun in question, is a simple fix for this design flaw.
