Para Ordnance 1911 Serial Numbers

Location: Iowa | Para Ordnance customer service My dad got a Para Ordnance double stack from my uncle a couple weeks ago. The receiver has been damaged, I assume from being dropped at some point long ago. I contacted Para to see if they could look up the serial number so we could get an age and possibly see what a new stripped receiver may cost, but have to say I am very unimpressed with their customer service... or lack there of. Monday I called and after a few minutes on hold I left my number for them to return my call. It is now Friday and heard nothing all week so called again and yet again got the 'we are currently expecting high call volume' message but stayed on the line for almost 15 minutes before their end disconnected me. Anyone else have experience with them? |

Location: OTP Atlanta | Para USA is being phased out by Freedom Group. The future guns will have the Remington name. Freedom Group states they will honor the warranties given by Para on existing guns. Any Customer Service claims are being handled by Freedom Group (Remington).

Location: North Carolina | I live just a few miles from their current headquarters in Pineville, NC. As Teadub mentioned, they are being phased out by Freedom (who bought out Para a few years ago) and the recent talk at local gun shops here is that employees are packing up right now and in transition to relocate to Alabama. Contacting Remington would be your best bet. Hope it gets resolved. |

Location: St. Louis | That's strange because a week ago I talked with Para customer service and they said there was moving going on & they had a new phone system causing trouble, but they were going to continue to make Para pistols. They said parts were going to be made in Alabama & they were going to start making magazines in house. Mags were what my call was about. I have a Part Expert 1911 5' in .45 acp and like it a lot. |

Location: Iowa | With that kind of customer service I'm not surprised they were bought out. Hopefully it gets better, as I've never heard much of any negative about their products. Any know if they sell just a bare receiver? |

Location: East Tennessee | The new Paras aren't that bad. . . I am a fan of 1911. I own a Colt, Ruger, RIA, and 2 Paras. The Canadian Paras were pieces of junk, poorly fitted, feeding issues, etc., IMO and I got rid of the one I owned. Remington's parent company bought them out and moved operations to Pineville, NC and actually hired 1911 people to build and fit the weapons. I have to say the recent Paras are awesome, accurate and reliable. I have noticed an issue with customer service since the transition began to move operations to Alabama earlier this year and the ParaProShop site is gone. Before that, you could call and get knowledgeable help and answers. Hopefully after the move, things will return to the norm. What I like is, I am doing a build and the people at Para would take the time to answer specific questions about their product that no other manufacturer would answer, with the exception of Ruger. |
