Kirby, had the same issue with a new, unfired Repro a few years ago. Richard is correct about the cosmoline, It can become glue like with age.
I took the buttstock off and sprayed a degreaser on the mechanism. Wiped it down and cleared up any gunk. Dried it out and put a light amount of oil on the moving parts and contact points. Problem solved. |

Midwest Gunsmith suggestions?
Richard & Michael thanks for the input.
Does anyone have a smith in northern Indiana or southern Michigan who has Parker experience? I'd love to be within driving distance for delivery and possibly wait for clean and oil. (Pipedream with most "good" gunsmiths workload and backlog.) -KL |

Send it to Brad Bachelder in Mi....He is a member...look him up and send PM..SXS ohio. Note: if the triggers are sticky and do not fully return to the forward position the safety will not move forward....(-:

Kirby,
I bought an unused 28ga and the safety wouldn't budge. I put a drop of penetrating on the safety and let it soak overnight. The safety worked fine after this. Ken |

If I hunt in the rain with my Repro28 the safety binds up badly. When it dries out it works fine again. Go figure. It needs some wood or metal somewhere relieved a bit I think.

Wet safety
Hi Richard, I think the safety rod that slides back and forth in a wood tunnel for lack of a better word is getting stuck and the wood swells up form being wet. We used Chris Maest in Princeton for this kind of work. He is at 609-921-9358. He owns Clay Target Sports.
