Parker Trojan 16ga
 
Hello
My name is Greg i have been reading your guys post for awhile on this great site. I have a 1924 Parker trojan 16ga 28 inche barrels choked cylinder and mod. I am having problems with the gun and would like to be able to hunt with this great classic gun. I am a avid rabbit and quail with dogs and live in kentucky. My question is should i post my problem with the gun in one of the other forums?

Post it right here Greg. You'll get the best advice from these gents.

My shotgun got dry fired and now when i try to open the gun it won't open unless i take the forearm off then i an remove the barrels. I have noticed also before this happened my tiggers were getting real stiff like maybe they need to be repaired or replaced. Should i send this to a quailfied gunsmith

Greg,Sounds to me like your Trojan is a victim of dried oil,grease and other assorted crap. I would bring the gun to a "Trained double gunsmith" and have the guns internals cleaned.

Any recommened gunsmiths the ones around here i do not trust

Greg,

I'm in Lexington and would be happy to clean the Parker for you. I am going to charge you a bottel of Elmer T Lee.

Mr Collins that would be great. I am in northern kentucky Let me know how to get the gun to you. I knew this site would be helpful.

Good job Harry! Only one bottle?.....:bowdown:

Dean Romig 12-20-2009 11:31 AM

I'm in agreement with Dave on this. A Parker hammerless suffers no ill-effects from dry-firing because they have conical hammer/firing pins that seat, upon release, in conical ports.
