Parker Safety

[Chris T.]

Before you send it off...make sure the top tang screw is tight as well as the bottom one found under the trigger guard.

[J. A. EARLY]

Without shells in the gun, push the safety to off, then open and see if the gun opens before the safety resets. Then again push the safety off and make sure to open the lever all the way. If it works the second time you have a gun that opens before the rod in the stock has a chance to push the safety all the way back. If this is the case you just have to remember to push the opening lever all the way to the right. The rod in there just did not disappear or break.

Just an amateur guess.

true

the so called auto safety is simply a short rod that is pushed backwards by a lug on the top lever.

if it suddenly quit engaging - i would be concerned about the wood inside the stock being worn or rotted around that hole letting the rod slip out of place

But if the bottom tang screw is too tight it can jamb up the safety.
