Gents, I read Dennis Potters text on this subject and was able to re-cock the ejectors without any difficulty. I then put the barrels back on the frame, re-attached the fore end and placed two snap caps in the chambers and proceeded to dry fire the gun twice. Both times the ejectors worked fine with no problem.
But this leaves me still wandering in the wilderness. Why didn't the hammers re-cock when I was at the range shooting? And is this event likely to occur again? Do I still need to have a competent 'smith' like Dan Cullity (who lives 8 miles from me or less) take the fore end components apart and inspect? Got a 1000 bird Tower Shoot at Markover on Dec 10 and I was planning to take this 31 inch barreled DHE along with another Parker as backup.
Patrick, thanks
