I believe that was a brazed shoe lump that fell off the barrels. I keep the photo around simply to remind me to have nothing to do with sleeved guns. Of course a Parker Reproduction isn’t a sleeved gun, but, to me, the point is the same. I’m not sure that what we are looking at can be economically repaired, and, if I’m being honest, I don’t care.

I don’t own a Parker Reproduction.

I wouldn’t consider that shoe lump construction, of which I’ve never seen fail. It’s good enough for Westley Richard’s to use for their double rifles, as well as Heym.


Obviously, it wasn’t good enough to use on this Parker Reproduction. Regardless of semantics.

Best,
Ted
