Parker went out of their way not to use someone else's patents and at times, IMHO, designed certain functions more complicated than really necessary. Why in the first place do you think they copied someone's bolting system ? They couldn't design their own ? IMHO, it was a PITA. But that's just my opinion. Hope the Parker crowd doesn't get on me too bad, I do own a number of them. I just think the Remington's and Ithaca's have a much simpler systems that use less parts.
