Joe - Not sure exactly what the "Slam Test " was, but I think it may have involved banging the butt of the gun on a hard surface to try to dislodge the hammers.

Thanks for the reply,Dave.Looked around and did find the Ruffed Grouse Society Magazine with the story in it.The article was on page 36 of the April,May,June 2006 issue,titled,"RGS Offers Special Chance to Own Remington Parker AAHS 28 Gauge".

There is a nice picture of the shotgun.What a beauty!

By any chance there isn't anyone out there who could spare $50,000 for a guy who is down on his 28 gauge luck?

One of the new AAHE Remington Parkers was displayed in the PGCA tent at the Vintagers either last year or the year before. Maybe we will be so lucky this year. Mr. Mason may be able to access the bibliography of Parker Repros that was posted on this site some time back. Can someone help him with this project?

About 5-6 years ago, the PGCA obtained from Remington and sold through bids one of the 20ga AHE guns made by Remington in the 1980's. A member in California bought the gun. It was a nicely made piece and was exhibited at meetings. I am not aware that it has been publicly shown since purchase. See the Parker Pages at the time for photos and description.

What you refer to as a "slam" test was not. It was more accurately a "drop" test where the gun was dropped butt first, safety off, from chest high distance above a hard surface. I understand sometimes the gun could be made to fire. The Parker Repros and the new Remington Parker AAHE 28ga use the original Parker double trigger and single trigger( late variation) design. I understand that present Remington management concludes that the Parker trigger mechanism is sufficiently safe. As an aside, the lighter the pounds pull, the more likely a gun is to fire with the drop test, so we have production 870's and others with 5 lb trigger pulls. What's a Ruger? 6lbs? When you want a Parker with standard trigger pulls of 3lbs front, 3 1/2lbs rear, it is more likely to discharge when dropped safety off.

I have shot both the 28ga Parker Repro and the 28ga Remington( CT Mfg) Parker AAHE. The AAHE seemed somewhat more solid feeling because there was less barrel and opening lever vibration. The difference was small and I was looking to find a difference. Both are nice guns and differences in use are likely not noticeable to most people. I understand there is up to a year's wait on a new AAHE 28ga so if you are interested, you might want to get your name on the list as soon as possible to be in time for hunting season 2010.
