VHE 220795

Decided I was finally going to do ejectors. What a system. Now all I have to do is get it back together. I now have the confidence to do a very nice GHE to figure out what is causing delayed ejection on one barrel. From what I can see with this one, timing must have to do with worn parts as I see nothing that would be adjustable. Any real gunsmiths welcome to chime in on timing ejectors. Cheers Jack

Looks like you're deep into gunsmith needed territory.

The timing of the ejectors is dependent on the legs of the sears and when the contact the "Shelf" on the roll joint. And yes, wear is what will effect the ejectors getting out of time.

The condition of the little copper spring that goes under the ejector retaining pin also has something to do with it. Make sure the little screws which hold the coil springs in place are also not binding. I have made many Parker ejector parts including the ejector hammers. If the copper spring or the ejector hammers are changed in the critical area the ejectors will never be made right until new parts are made

My thoughts: A. What a neat picture! Thanks for posting it. I don't think I've ever seen a Parker laid out that complete, always sub-assembles or details. B. This is a man braver than I! Haven't had the need or nerve to pull one down to the bone like that. Hope you find your "bug".

That is a really great observation. My first thought was that it was kinda scary seeing a Parker stripped down completely, with all the wiggle-waggle parts removed and on the bench.
In retrospect, it's pretty awesome!

This is obviously a man on a mission!

I had a case where the forearm wood had expanded to interfere with the ejector action.

All done. Functions flawlessly. Pheasants need to watch out in October .

Awesome job, that is a cool picture for sure.

Wonder how many counted the number of parts in the photo? Asking for a friend.

The 2018 PGCA Raffle Gun was shipped to me in exactly the same condition shown in Jack's picture. The saving grace was that it was an extractor gun!

After I had it all assembled I discovered the safety didn't work so I had to go back into it and line up the safety slide and toggle with a bit more care. Then it worked perfectly.
I have disassembled and reassembled a number of Parkers over the years. I messed one up many years ago and sent it to Abe Chaber to correct what I had done. Seems I had reinstalled the cocking crank incorrectly.... He told me I should have been more observant when I took it apart.

So, Louis do you repair ejectors? If so, where are you located and contact info?

Jack Cronkhite 07-23-2020 11:12 AM

Dean. I find the complete disassembly clean and reassembly therapeutic. Have done around 30 now. You may recall a couple years back I mentioned a GHE with ejector issues. I finally got up the nerve to tackle ejectors. I’m now doing that GHE. Haven’t found anything overly worn or broken so after reassembly I expect it will function correctly. One issue it did have is a sear slide that was very difficult to move. Should be smooth as silk. I expect that to have been the issue. We’ll see later today
