Yup Bob, that's the technical version of what I was trying to explain.

When I checked one of my Arrietta's this morning, the grooves in the ejectors line up perfectly with the grooves in the barrel, allowing the shell to sit flat....could it be that the ejectors on the parker need some adjustment to sit flatter and make the grooves consistent all the way around? I hope I am being clear...essentially it appears the ejectors sit a bit higher then the rest of the barrel, holding the brass head higher then it should.

Does the gun close hard with empty chambers?

No more then one would expect with a new gun. It is stiff opening and closing. I have only shot a couple of boxes through it since I bought it. As noted, the extractors seem to sit a bit high and this does result in the grooves designed to hold the brass not matching which causes the brass to sit higher then the edge of the barrels on the outside and top. Out of the 2-3 boxes I have shot through it, the lock up has occurred on only two occasions...both with reloads

What hull were you using for the reloads? I've experienced hard opening and closing of one of my 28-ga. Repros with Estate hulls. I attributed it to being too thick of a rim on the Estate hulls. Never have had a problem with Winchester AA or Remington STS hulls.

These were new Multihulls from Ballistic Products. They have generally worked well for me. I agree, the AA and STS hulls are great and I use a lot of them that I buy once fired. I believe the first time it locked up it was a reload with a hull out of Europe, though I can not recall the brand at this time.

Charles,
I just checked a Repro I have with me and the ejectors fit flush with barrels. They can't extend beyond the breach end of the barrels or they would obstruct closing. The last little 1/16" of ejector retraction many times is very tight. Push hard. Bob Jurewicz |

Bob: I did as you suggested....took a bit of pressure, particularly on one set of barrels, but the ejectors now sit flush and so does the brass. I then went and sprayed gun stripper on the ejector rods, ran them back and forth and then oiled. They now move freely. Hopefully this fixes the situation....I will take them back up north with me this weekend and find out. From what I understand, the two barrel set (with two forends) was one of five bought by a service man stationed in japan as an investment and never fired. When I first received it from the seller (Roger Bains) the triggers were slow moving....I sent it back for a check up and his gunsmith cleaned out all the grease put in it at time of manufacture and they now work well....could be that was what was holding up the ejectors as well.
