Using the extractor style stop screw, we can make a pigeon gun (no doll's head) barrel WITH ejectors. That sounds like an interesting project for someone.

Make sure you take plenty of pics as you make progress on the project, Mr. Murphy


..but, what about the unsightly pit left in the frame? Where the dolls head used to be..how do you make that look not terrible?

There is no reason to alter or remove the extractor doll’s head.

I am not sure of the chronology when Parker made the statement that dry firing was acceptable, and when the ejector was an added option, but while there’s argument about the effect off dry firing on hammers, I don’t think there’s any doubt that dry firing an ejector gun without using snap caps is a very bad idea.

For everyone’s information - the only Parkers that can be dry fired without harm are the hammerless guns. The plungers or firing pins on Parker hammer guns are as susceptible to breaking as any other gun with ‘floating’ firing pins.

In reply to MD GSP, I was referring to making an ejector gun out of a true pigeon gun, which has no void in the receiver for a doll's head. Another answer to his comment is "It should be no problem for a good gunsmith to fill the void left by the doll's head in the receiver."

I returned the barrel to the dealer I bought it from at my cost for shipping for repair. After a month or so it was return at no cost. I looked to have a new insert only. Testing it with snap caps it failed again right away. I returned the complete gun again (they paid shipping) and about 7 or 8 weeks later it was returned. This time I could see a new screw, insert and the dolls head seemed to have some work done on it (welding). Now after putting about 200 rounds through it has failed again. This time the when I ejected the shells the insert was lost and it looks like the head of the screw has snapped off. It is going back to the dealer again at my cost for shipping. I am asked if there was a better gunsmith to be used and was told that his was capable of repair it. Of that I am not sure.

The question I have for the group is "can this problem be fixed?" Is the dealer leading me on hoping I just give up on it and his problem goes away? This gun nythinwas a $6,000 investment that I can not afford to write off.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Pawel's post did not address the question. I will thank other posters to continue this discussion without Pawel's disruptive comments.

My experience is if you want to move to America, and practice your trade for Americans, you would be better served if you left your Eastern European demeanor at the door. Only speaking for myself, but I think having more choices who to do work for me is great, but manners are as important as skill.
