Disassembly 20 ga. Reproduction
Thank you for the disassembly instructions. Are they the same for a Reproduction 20 ga. with a single trigger?
I have one where both barrels will fire only with the selector set for the left barrel firing first. With the selector set for the right barrel first, only the right barrel fires. Is this a cleaning issue or a larger problem? If not a cleaning problem is there anyone in Wisconsin who could do a repair? Thanks Gary |

Gary,
I never disassembled a Parker Repro so I cannot give you a good answer. Since it is a faithful reproduction of a Parker it should be the same. Someone else will soon respond... For your single trigger, try a good cleaning first. If that doesn't cure the problem send it to Mark Beasland of Mark's Born Again Bird Guns.

Big Friend:
Excellent steps to take down a Parker hammerless... but allow me to add an important tip: In order to prevent the stock from banging around and chipping itself as the bottom plate and sears come out, I hold it securely in place with a bungee cord wrapped between the standing breech and buttplate (surgical tubing works too). Once you've got the sears out, remove the bungee and stock. It works for me. Best, Kensal |

Kensel,
Thank you. That is a good tip. It will help if someday when I have butterfingers. I have a question for you since you are very well versed in Parker gunsmithing. As a new comer to this forum wouldn't it have be kind of you to provide Charlie, a long time member, detailed guidance rather than telling him to go read a book? When I join a new club I try to make friends and then in turn, give a freindly welcome to newcomers. Mark |

Mark:
Your thought is most prudent. And your generosity is amply proven. However, I have found that many neophytes are best self-educated by obtaining their own information, following professional instructions, and having a book to refer to in the future. I was there once, and did the same. That was long before the internet however. Still, I'm old fashioned enough to encourage students to do their own research and learn from that. I'm always willing to offer insights however. Don't get me wrong. I seriously considered giving Charlie the full ticket (as you so generously did)... but he seemed so new to the process that I felt a professional step-by-step would serve him and his new passion a bit better. Not to mention the screw slots of his Parker. Best, Kensal |

What is the best way to remove the automatic saftey pushrod and main screw ferrule?
I have some I want to take out and they do not seem to want to budge. Can see what holds the pushrod in. It moves back and forth, but won't come out the front.

One must learn in steps, I suppose. To get the reset rod out, the ferrule must come out first. This is because it intersects a flat on the rod which holds the rod in place. Remove the ferrule, and the rod will slide out forward (dirt permitting). But... to remove the ferrule, you must grind a screwdriver to fit the notches in its top precisely. It cannot be too wide or you will turn up wood. It cannot be a sloppy fit in the notches or it will bugger them. Chances are the ferrule will only turn up so far as the threads will carry it -- about 1/4 inch. Then it will have to be tapped out from below with a small punch. With the ferrule out, the rod should come out toward the muzzle of the gun. Be careful to reinsert it the same way. Some are tapered on the transfer bar side, so that end must be kept to the butt. Otherwise, it's not a complicated operation. Best, Kensal |
