Default Timed screws
As I learn more and more about the American sXs makers I know Parker timed their screws.

Is this a practice that all double gun makers adhered to?

I ask because of examples for sale and the upcoming Southern.
Thank you

Hey Rick. I cannot speak for All American gun makers but I certainly believe that the big five did. Even if they did not it is a certainty that the owners of today would have them timed, right or wrong we like them timed.

I had a local electrician wire a new barn project for me about a month or so ago. Upon completion I was looking over his work and I noted that all of the covers had the screws timed in the same manner. I sort of have a new admiration for him now

I learned that a long time ago and any wires I ran/run that were/are clamped had all of the screws timed and outlet and switch covers get timed which break a lot of cheap plastic ones when you needed that final quarter turn to make the screw timed vertically. But it is worth it.

It is a level of professionalism that shows a man’s pride in his work.

Anything less is just... less.

I will let my electrician know that he is now officially PGCA approved and that he should darn well be impressed with that! My apologies Rick for temporarily derailing your thread

Yeah, I’ve noted my electrician did the same when building our home. Just wondered about gun makers, sounds like a yes. Thanks

I'm sure you meant to say lorry, not truck.
