Safety Lever and Safety Lever Sleeve Needed

Pauly B. · 01-06-2011, 03:28 PM

I basically rescued a GH 12 gauge built on a 2 frame from the junk pile. It was broken in two at the wrist, with the lower tang broken at the trigger rebound spring hole. I have the frame repaired and a replcement buttstock mostly built, but I need a safety lever and lever sleeve (must have been lost in the "accident"). I have tried the usual places (Dixie, Numrich, Popparts), any body got an idea where I can find these parts?

There's a box of Parker parts on gunbroker.com and I saw three automatic safety rods in one compartment but I don't remember if the parts you want are included in the misc. parts in the box.

Hey Dean!

I've placed the only bit on that box of Parker parts. I'd gladly share a few parts from it than have to prove my machismo with my wallet via bidding.

Thanks,
Mark

I have a bushing for the tang screw if that is what you are referring to.

I saw that box of parts, but I didn't see the parts I need in it. If they are there I am not recognizing them. Hopefully I will find them eventually. The gun has damascus barrels with beautiful mirror bores, It definately needs to be saved. Thanks to everyone for the discussion.

Hi Paul,

A benefit of membership is the members only For Sale and Wanted to Buy forums. I have sold a very nice Parker and also bought a Parker using the forums. I also obtained parts using the Wanted to Buy forum.

It is PGCA members taking care of each other.

Respectfully,
Mark

I will both call Larry DelGrego and join the Parker Gun Association!

"All's well that ends well."

Mark - That's how it should work... not by bidding against each other but by sharing the wealth.

...No, I'm not a socialist but I do believe in taking care of each other for the common good.

Paul, Is this your only Parker? I ask because if you have another as an example, These parts are fairly easy to make with a grinder and a drill. Several years ago I saved a similar GH. It had a replacement stock and no safety parts inside. The lever and sleeve is not really very high tech. It's just a lever that connects the safety slide, and when the safety is on, it swings into position to block the trigger blades from engaging the sears. It's more a matter of the angle that it is inletted into the stock, than the refinement of the lever itself. The jacket is just a sheet metal sleeve to wedge it into the stock so the lever swings freely. Sorry, I used to have some pics of it before my hard drive died a couple years ago.
