Thank you Brian. Anyone know how Remington took in Parker repair work during the War?

Since some Parker Gun employees made the move to Ilion it would seem unlikely that they were not tasked with doing repairs during the war.
Remington was fully engaged in the war effort and Parker production was suspended, but I don't think Parker repair work was only done for exclusive folks. If I had to guess, it was more like as time allows, or the extent of the needed repair. Hunting and shooting continued during the war, so it is doubtful Remington told folks "Sorry, not until the war is over." But "I needed it yesterday" probably didn't fly either. Just speculation. FWIW, Alden Hatch's Remington Arms, In American History has a good summary of Remington's days during WWII. |

‘As time allows’ I could go through my small collection of Remington documents and letters to customers. Maybe there is something in them that might shed some light on the subject.
All of their documents and correspondences were dated. .
