Need help to fix Top lever issue
Hi Everyone! I am new to this forum and need assistance/guidance on repairing the top lever on my grandfathers 12gauge side by side, serial number 95030.
I am now having an issue that when I load and bring the barrel back to normal position, the lever no longer sets itself. The safety activates but the lever doesn't snap into place, I have to manually now move it to center to lock the barrel. I have no idea what to replace/fix/look at. Would anyone have some input for this fix? I have sporadically been using the gun for trap but now I want to preserve it as a collectors gun and buy an new gun just for trap. Any input is very much appreciated. Thanks, Phil |
Is there spring resistance in the lever when you open the action?

It is a bad top lever spring.

thanks all for the replies.
there is no resistance to the lever. I will look to replace the top lever spring. Would anyone have a parts list or schematic once I take this apart to take a look see? |
See if Brian Dudley who replied above can work it in to fix it. He has salvaged top-lever springs which will have to be fitted.
Once fixed, I would not hesitate to continue using a family gun. |
Brian, any tips to replace it? J.A. Early mentioned you have done this before.

Message Brian and see if he can do it for you. Must be fitted. He does this for a living. No tips unless you can do it yourself, but a lot of fitting and if you haven't been inside a Parker, leave it to someone who can do it for you. You'll be happy you did not experiment. |
