What's a possible cause for extremely stiff action?
I have an 1899 Parker GH 12 gauge that is very stiff when it comes to opening the action. When you first push the top lever to the right, you have to force the barrels down. When the gun is broken down, then you must push the lever slightly back to the left. Then when you close the action, it closes smoothly, and the lever returns to the proper position.
I have had the action apart a couple times and have cleaned and lubricated it and can't see anything that looks out of place. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I don't have a local gunsmith available.
