Those 'after the fact' repair records may well be in the missing order books.
I wonder if Parker Bros would have replaced the entire lug on these guns that went back for ejectors? I know it seems to us like a lot of work but it may have been easier for those folks to do it that way... after all, they had to replace the rib extension - why not go all the way? |

I was a member very early on and for many years. I just kind of let it lapse. I will re-join as I have rekindled my interest in Parkers.

It is more likely that an ejector addition would include (under some circumstances), a net set of barrels as well as a forend because of the difficulty of installing the ejector stop on the extractor barrels. No one ever accused PB of being smart with a buck.

That would surprise me Bill because a new set of barrels retailed for half the price of a gun and when my GH went back in 1913 the ejector retrofit was only $25. The rib extension (doll's head) could easily be removed and replaced with one made for ejectors.
The frame had to be mounted in a jig and drilled for the push-rods and the forend iron had to be replaced with the forend iron with the ejector mechanism. A new set of barrels to complete the procedure of making an ejector gun out of an extractor gun would have pushed the price up to that of a new gun in most cases. Not saying it never happened but... |
