Help with a hammerless double barrel teardown
1 Attachment(s)
I recently inherited a Parker double barrel hammerhead shotgun. Serial number puts it built in 1918 (1820xx). I am trying to inspect and figure out all of the specifics of this unit, but I cannot separate the barrel from the breach. The breach opens, and ejects shells, but unlike my Remington double barrel, the barrels do not rotate far enough to separate. It feels like it hits a stop. I have removed the grip on the front. If you look at the technical page, it feels like the pivot pin infront of "check hook T" and "pin E" (looking at figure 8) is not allowing the barrels to rotate far enough to clear Check Hook T from Pin E.
I have attached a photo of how far I can open the shotgun. Any ideas what could be stopping me from separating the barrels from the breach? Thank you for your help? |
The unhooking slide inside the frame is stuck or gummed up. First try dry firing both barrels and see if that frees it. If not, the trigger plate will have to come off in order to get the barrels off.
And your hammerhead unit is a Trojan grade. |
What the heck is that goo between the frame and the stock head??

As for the test. I tried dry firing and it did not free it up. The barrels feel a little looser, though. So I took the stock off and put liberal amount of oil in the.hammerhead. I am headed out now, but I plan on letting it sit for a bit and see if that helps. What I could see of the inside is fairly dirty, so it will need a good and thorough cleaning. Thank you for your help. |

When the barrels will not come off on a 12 gauge, I have found that often one can get a screwdriver in to remove the screw that is visible in your photo that retains the barrel hook, if you apply pressure as if opening the gun or trying to remove the barrels downward. Please try to use a screwdriver that fits and not bugger up that screw. Once removed you will easily have the screw in hand but do not forget there is a spring behind the hook so don't lose it when the barrels come off. Hope this helps.

Now, I've got the unit apart and trying to figure out the best way to clean out all of the grime. Ultrasonic cleaner? Brake clean? PB Blaster? Let it soak in Dawn dishwashing liquid? This is going to take a little time. As for the stock, I am speaking with someone now about making a replacement stock since that one is packed full of JB Weld and has some weak spots in it. Thanks for all the help! |

Ejector Trojan
Let's get back to this little comment that was overlooked; "The breach opens, and ejects shells,"
Now, did you really mean to say that the shells acutally ejected out of this Trojan or did they just lift so you could grab them?:corn: |
