Took gun apart and cleaned it, no apparent problems. Shot a half dozen shells and strangely firing upwards either assists the opening lever to bump the safety reset rod enough to partially reset the safety or the recoil does; just enough to keep one from pulling the rear trigger.
I had tried removing the rod, but it would not come out. Is a Parker different from a Fox? I thought the rod just pulled straight out, but it would not budge. It looks like a homemade rod in there. I think it is a combination of a homemade rod that is too long preventing the safety from going as far forward as it needs to lock the safety slide or/and a weak top lever V-spring. Although after firing the gun is still tight and I cannot detect that the lever moves to the right when firing.
Thoughts? Does the safety reset rod just pull out as a Fox does?
