I think the issues with the gun are minor and easily remedied. IF the stock was refinished at some time that finish might have gotten to the internals and gummed them up. If the suggestion here for getting the barrels off doesn't work PAY THE SHIPPING to a qualified gunsmith some of which can be found here and have it looked at by a professional that knows these guns.
It sounds to me like you have made a great purchase for your first original Parker.
