If I had to guess, I would say the margins made on Parker shotguns were all in the black and probably higher on the higher grade guns. The profits on these guns were able to support the realitivly low overhead/cost of Parker Bros.
The Remington Arms Co. Would of most likely needed a much higher contribution margin to cover overhead and be "profitable"
