Peter, do the barrels move freely on the hook except for the ejector interfering with them closing? Does the top lever move or is it frozen in place? If they move freely, and with the gun unloaded, you could try dry firing both triggers to drop both hammers and remove tension off the cocking hook and slide,etc.. With the forend off and the Trojan breech open, you may have to take a narrow blunt rod such as a long cabinet screw driver (with tape covering the blade edge to prevent scratches) and depress the top lever release tab located at the bottom of the rear barrel lug recess in the frame. This should allow the top lever to release and move to the left. You should then be able to move the safety slide forward and pull the triggers dropping both hammers. Then grasping the barrels in one hand and the frame in the other hand, pushing upward and back with the barrels and down and forward with the frame, the cocking hook may release and allow the barrel hook to slide off the main pin and the barrels to be separated from the frame. If this does not work, I would advise you to send to one of the several "Parker knowledgable" gunsmiths mentioned in our restoration threads. HTH FV.
