This seems to be something that can happen with Parkers in general not just repro's.

I had a friend have this happen to a nice DHE 16ga original Parker while pheasant hunting in North Dakota. We watched him shoot a bird and then he started acting funny and looking at the ground & wouldn't move. He then called the rest of us over to him, only to see that his gun was missing the forearm and he couldn't find it in the heavy cover. It took several minutes with four guys looking to find it. We probably wouldn't have ever found it if he hadn't stayed right where he made the shot.

His cure on that original Parker was to replace the latch spring, but I doubt that is the problem with Scott's repro.
