4 to 6 weeks out isn't a long time. I have a gun at Eyster since January, and he said he'd get to it right away, and I should get it before bird season...in 2027. I still can't tell if he was joking or not. From my point of view this is another reason to have ten to twelve good backup guns : )

Maybe if I won the lottery or something I could have 10 to 12 backup guns haha a 1 frame 20ga with 30" or 32" barrels would be nice i would guess that would be the parker equivalent of a fox he in 20ga but if we are talking lotto money 1 or 2 of them as well wouldn't hurt to much 🤣.

Personally, I think ejectors were the worse idea ever. Single triggers are a close second.

I have to agree with you John but single triggers to me are #1 ahead of ejectors. They have no place on a SxS. When I ordered my Perazzi I asked for double triggers since it's the ultimate barrel selector, but the cost was something like an additional 5 grand so I passed.

I have had trouble with exactly ONE Parker and it was a VHE that failed to eject the left barrel and $$$ later and six month wait I got it fixed. Dan at Giacomo's said he was up for a challenge when he took it, then said that will be the last one he does and, "Now I remember why I stopped working on those damn things." I believe he had to make a part? Might be what Frank was talking about.
