    Was just curious. When buying a shotgun used or to a lesser extent new, does parts availability come into play. Parts are getting scarce for older guns and on the newer imports a person could run into the same thing. It does for me, so I was just wondering.

    I have read that some parts for the older Perazzi TM-1's and TMX's are getting harder to find.

    Warranty is what peaks my interest. As for parts availability, I feel if you buy the gun you desire and that dealer does warranty work it's a win win situation.

    AI PETER, go to venders for sale, there are small mfgrs. that are making parts for old guns.
