Default Another therapy session

This is the point where I’m starting to feel good. All cleaned of crud and rust and lightly lubed. It would be nice to get here with no issues but so far that has yet to happen. Almost did with this one but for the last step of disassembly. The gun had been played with before and when the cocking crank pin was reinserted it got bent. That pin does not need substantial force to put in place but I think it got smacked with the punch on an angle. The crank turned on the pin okay but I could not get the pin out. Never encountered that before. Ultimately drilled it out and replaced with a spare. Reassembly tomorrow. Cheers Jack

Rich. Funny you say that. It’s true. Then and still now. Latest arrival for completion after a couple more forays into the guts of a Parker. Too much fun for an old guy

Getting there today. The things you find on reassembly. I inserted the unhooking pin and spring and installed the screw. I could push the pin in but it woul not return. Spent a while ensuring their was no obstruction in the pathway. Finally decided the spring must be too weak. Sorted through my “junk” and had four of those springs. Compared them with the spring that seemed weak. That spring has many more coils of much finer wire. Replaced that with an original and all’s well. I think someone replaced an original but never bothered to ensure it functioned properly. It does now. Not much left to do. BTW vice grips for top lever spring installation not the floor plate as I look at this pic
