The only screw you cannot just remove is the large hammer screw. The one next to it is just a lock screw. The fron one is for the cocking cam axle. Both those two smaller ones can be taken out without any tension.

Some penetrant oil might be a good idea before attempting to remove them though. These can be sticky sometimes and I have seen some pretty buggard up ones. Not long ago, I had to use a Grabbit to get one of the front screws out of my P grade.

Some of us were lucky enough to be at Pintail Point when Doug Turnbull spent about an hour showing us the proper procedure for the complete disassembly of a Parker hammerless shotgun... and then reverse the procedure and put it all back together again.

I learned when I was a kid of thirteen that you can't just "willy-nilly" take screws out of a Parker. That was 1961 and cost me $20 at the gunsmith.

I'm sure it was a fascinating experience.

Parkers are sort of the "coo-coo clock" of boxlocks.

Okay then...I'm not "cuckoo" enough to attempt to remove any more than I already did when taking out the sears and associated tidbits for removing the stock. On another note, putting the stock back on went fairly well even though I needed help with the sears as I couldn't put the downward pressure on the sears and line up the pin with only 2 hands...needed someone to tap the pin while I held them lined up with the pin hole...was very pleased when the Trojan was back to operating condition after this minor operation was completed.
