Replacement of cocking mechanism
 

I am buying a 10 gauge DH which apparently is missing "the rod that holds the lever which makes the gun cock" (in the very words of my seller). How big a problem does this sound? How hard is it to get replacement parts? Any recommendations on gunsmiths? :bowdown:

Check with Larry DelGreco...315-894-8754 or 315-895-7395

The gun is out in Texas and I am thinking of using Briley. I used them to remove dents in a Trojan and was very pleased. Of course, this may be more specialized than removing dents.

Briley knows bbls but Larry knows Parkers and they have the parts.

Second that.....

Mills,The cocking hook on the barrels attatches to the cocking crank in the frame slot.That operates the cocking slide. The cocking slide cocks the hammers.I don't know of any "Rod" that cocks a hammerless Parker. Your problem could be big or small depending on what parts are missing.

I am a novice when it comes to Parker repair. My seller says it is just one part. The big dilemma is getting it operational for turkey season which starts in SC this Thursday. :banghead:

Mills:
Daze is spot on. You can't know what the real issue is until you get the gun. And wisdom indicates that you shouldn't count on it being shootable by Thursday.
The missing "rod" may be as simple as the safety re-set rod... but who knows.
Good luck.

My seller has a gunsmith looking at it. Looks like it is just one part and he is trying to find a replacement. Stay tuned folks. Thanks for the suggestions

Well the "one part" has turned into a full blown project gun. Several internal parts missing, pitting in the barrels, checkering worn off, some engraving worn off . . . Current plan is to save up and find out how bad to fix it up. :dh:
