Yesterday after all these years my Parker began to double about every third or fourth shot. What would be a most probable cause for this? Thanks for help. Gerald.

Probably just needs a good cleaning.

Single trigger or double?

If it's a ST check your top tang screw to see if still tight. Doesn't take much to make them double sometime.

I am thinking about removing the stock and spraying the receiver good with carb cleaner and blowing it out good with compressed air. Then repeating with WD40. Anyone with advise about this? Gerald

do you have a properly fitted set of hollow ground screwdrivers?

and are you familiar with the inner workings?

I do have drivers and have taken a few stocks off and replaced them without screw damage but that is as far as I have been. Thanks. Gerald
