Looking for advice on repair

[Dean Romig]

Hello Dorie, and Welcome!

Before you do anything with/to the gun please show us some pictures and give us the serial number. Sometimes a Parker should just be left alone as anything done to it could reduce its value.

Hello, for me when ever I have any big parker moves rather repair or buying my first choice is Brad Bachelder. I'm sure there's other's who are very good also, I just look at brad as a parker man with a great deal of experience and knowledge.

Dorie- fyi I sent my gun to Larry DelGrego for repair. I was pleased with the results.

Don't leave us hanging after all the advice you got from us Geoff. What did DelGrego say was wrong with the gun?

[Geoff Clark]

Oops sorry I did forget to report back on that!

Since that was about 3 years ago, I went back and looked at the repair estimate that Larry sent me.

He quoted the following:
1. Rechambering the 2.5" chambers to 2.75",
2. Repair/refinish/blue/engrave the guardbow,
3. Recut sears, repair double triggers,
4. Repair safe
5. Tighten, clean, lubricate, and test.
Seems like he said the misfires were caused by the sears being worn.

I have shot the gun several times since the repair and it really shoots great. The stock dimensions seem to fit me better than anything else I own. When I got the gun back it was really tight. It may have loosened up a little, but not much. No misfires or problems at all.
