Ejector timing

[todd allen]

I have a Parker ejector gun that sometimes doesn't eject properly on opening, and then pops when the action starts to close.
Is this a big deal to fix?

[Bruce Day]

First , clean it. The usual cause is dirt and gummy oil

[Craig Budgeon]

I believe the most benign fix I have seen on a Parker ejector gun was performed by Larry DelGrego when he removed a shaving of wood which corrected a problem similar to yours. His point was that wood expands and contracts as moisture content changes.

[Dean Romig]

Del Grego is definitely the place to send a Parker with ejector malfunctions if cleaning doesn't do it. Whatever you do, don't attempt to disassemble it yourself.

Thanks Bruce.
This is an immaculately clean Turnbull restoration. Almost never fired, but it has been sitting in a safe for many many years. Might have some oil getting gummy.

[Richard Flanders]

I'd just check the ejector rods first off. The retaining screw may be a tad tight or the rods gummed up. Very simple fix.

[todd allen]

It's a near mint condition 1906 BHE. I am very reluctant to get anywhere near this gun with a screwdriver.
Anything I can do from the outside?

[Dean Romig]

I wouldn’t squirt anything into the mechanism.

If the ejectors are sticking someone is going to have to go at it with a screwdriver at some level.

Remove the trigger plate?

[Brian Dudley]

Maybe get it to turnbull to sort it out.? They restored it. Only makes sense.

[todd allen]

That's just too much common sense. Problem is, the restoration was several decades ago.

[Louis Rotelli]

I can take a look at it for you . I make and install all of the ejector parts

[Brian Dudley]

That's just too much common sense. Problem is, the restoration was several decades ago.

Look at it this way. If it is a virtually unfired restoration, the likely they were never quite right at the time the work was completed. Maybe not.
Not that I am suggesting that they would do warranty work decades later of course.

Just that they would be completely capable of tuning them up for you.

[todd allen]

I'm thinking about selling this gun, and will probably sell as-is. Disclose the issue, and reduce the price appropriately.
How much should I deduct for this?
