wow - what an intelligent and thoughtful post to introduce oneself with
Welcome Edward you can find Dave's article on barrel steel in the digital archives of all issues of the Parker Pages ( there will be many more articles in there a metallurgist might enjoy ) the archives are available to members in members only section the top lever begins life to the right - so that is good - wear will result in its moving to the left. that wear can be caused by abuse such as slamming the gun shut or i suppose lots of dirt. please check the recommended gunsmith thread to find someone near you for a cleaning. http://parkerguns.org/forums/showthr...light=gunsmith

Welcome aboard Edward. Concerning your search for a gunsmith go to the Parker home page, click on the Parker FAQ's (left tree, near the bottom), the very first topic you will see concerns gunsmiths that these folks have used and would recommend for various services. With a little reading I would think you would find someone near you. Also once you are in the correct thread you will be able to search within that thread specifically so for instance you might search your State or the specific service you are seeking to have completed. Best of luck to you Sir !

Regarding the Parker Pages Digital Archive - It is available only to PGCA Members, not Forum Associates and is copyright protected in every way - every page of every issue.
Having said that, it is an extremely valuable resource that you will find yourself going to and reading so often! .

Welcome. Regarding take down. If your gun is an ejector one ( meaning it through s the shell out) take it apart cocked or the ejectors will be difficult to reset and must be done before the forearm can be installed.
