Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Safeties are known to 'freeze" up when old oil dries. If they are stuck 'ON', you won't be able to pull the triggers/fire, and it it won't fire, the hammers are too far back to see the pin end. Start with the safety; squirts some PB blaster under it, and with a soft piece of wood against it, tap it forward, then see if it fire. You're working yourself up too quickly.
And, Oh yes, $500 is not bad at all, even if it needs a tad bit of work. There are plenty of people out there with parts IF it comes down to that.

Don't try to force the safety forward unless the gun is closed and the lever at center. Otherwise you will bend or break the automatic safety link. As recommended, put some thin lube under the safety slide and use a plastic or wood tool to push the safety forward. Tap, tap, tap. Same with the triggers if they are still stuck when the safety is working freely. I've never heard of a Parker with the hammers removed. Your gun is likely "all there".
