That was the problem with the Repos- people thought the original Parker parts were going to be interchangeable and they weren't. The last I heard, all of the spare parts that were destroyed in a flood in Japan, were purchased by someone up in the Norteastern United States. I had also heard of stocks snapping off at the wrist because the Japanese didn't know how to lay out the grain of the wood properly. But I have only heard of two or three doing this. I know I have a Miroku Model 500 with the same problem. It has a hairline crack at the wrist that wraps around the top of the receiver. But, the Repo was kind of a hit or miss situation, like the Gold Label and the Browning salt guns. Some love them and some had problems. I don't run them down- just avoid them.
