Hi all, I'm Rob Miller, I live in Washington state and got into SxS's about 6 months ago.
I have:

1920 12g DH 1 frame
1905 16g VH 0 frame

Also have:

1912 Lefever DS 20g
1913 LC Smith Ideal 12g
1915 and 1920 AH Fox A grades 12g
19?? Baker Special 12g

I shoot them fairly regularly both hunting and skeet and love em all!

Love those light frame guns, tell us more about them.

The VH was my first Parker, I was looking for a 20ga when I came across this light frame 16ga. Someone restored it at some point, good job looks nice. 28'" barrel choked Icyl/Icyl 2 3/4 chambers and it slays the clays and pheasants!

The DH I just got in on Friday, it's having a problem with a stuck safety.
28" barrel choked Mod/Full, 2 3/4 chambers

Nice, I have couple zero frame 16’s, they are great upland guns. I always wanted a 12 on a 1 frame. There are very good people here that can probably give you good advise on the stuck safety, or at least a good gunsmith near you that can figure it out. Welcome to a great organization!

The safety is probably rusted in place. Soak it in some solvent for a day or two. Then move it with a block of wood and a hammer. Very simple solution, if it works. Make sure you pound it in the right direction.

Great suggestion here but ,I don't think he literally meant " Pound It " , More like a couple of very light taps to get her moving ! Of course as Bill Mentioned ,In The Right Direction !:)

Jim Dispagno made a good point that because it's not the original stock, it might be binding when the 2 screws are tightened up. I think that is what it will end up being, I'll verify after work and report back.

What part of Washington State? I'm 19 miles east-northeast of Spokane, almost in Idaho.
