the remington 1894 is a little easier to work on than the parker..for instance dont have to pull the trigger sears to get the stock off...but both guns come apart much alike...brian is a good mane to solve problems i thank him for his expertise in his knowledge of old doublesand his willness to help with a problem...i aint got no cash to have other people work on my old side by sides so you boys on the net here are my salvation with yall s knowledge... waiting on the spring from brian will let ya ll know how this turns out for the good i hope...charlie...
