Parker vh 20 gauge

[Toby Espy]

Hi I’m a new member to these forums I have just acquired a Parker vh 20 gauge that was taken apart and fired now I can’t figure out how to recock it any help. Thanks

The act of opening it fully will recock it. If it doesn't cock by opening it fully, a part or parts are missing in the cocking mechanism.

So it being snapped while apart has nothing to do with it

If you cocked the gun when you opened it originally that part must be OK. Put the barrels back on the gun with for-end and then open and close it to re-cock.

This is a Parker, not an L.C. Smith!!

If you fired it ( dropped the hammers ) with the barrels off, simply put the gun back together and open it.

Also odd there are no gauge or choke markings on the barrels

Normal for Parkers before Remington take over.
