Need Firing Pins and Bushings for Grade 1 Parker Hammer Double
 

Newbie here. I purchased a nice example of an 1880s vintage Parker SxS hammer gun missing both sets of firing pins and bushings. Described as Grade 1 Frame 2. Have been working some with a relatively new gunsmith who has taken on a few projects to learn on. But I am hoping someone here might be able to direct me to a source for original or reproduction parts. Also need a right main spring. Developing an addiction for vintage hammer doubles. Thanks in advance for your help.

Send the gun to Dave Fjeleine in Lincoln Ca 916-521-1334

Thanks, Jim. I will call him tomorrow.

Dave doesn’t do computers. That gun on Millstone Auction is deserving of Dave’s wprk

Dave, you should join the PGCA as the benefits here for the price is a bargain

Man. The internet is a scary place sometimes! LOL. Yep. That are the critter. I bought it on spec to fix and resell. So I have to gauge any money I put into it with what I can get out of it. Any thoughts on that? My objective is to pull enough out of these auctions to finally purchase a really nice antique hammer gun to keep for myself. My best at this point is a Husqvarna Model 103 C.

Brian Dudley makes/has offset firing pins for older Parkers.

I assume he is on this forum? Would like to contact him. Remember, I know next to nothing about old Parkers, but really want to learn.

David, for what you’ve paid plus what you’re going to put into it is going to be a wash at best

A wash is better than not being able to move it as is (which I would gladly do). Have received a couple of auction guns that were "technically" as described. Then I found issues that complicate turnover. I have a deal with a local machine shop for when I get a loose sxs. I take them a box of donuts and they slap a little TIG weld on the hook and smooth the sides. I take it home and do that smokey VooDoo thing and file down until they lock up:). I can at least get my investment back to reinvest. This is my retirement side hustle.
