Harry,

Try this. It is not the way Parker designed it, but I think it will work for you if you do not want to remove metal from the portion of the trigger that touches the safety to block it when in the safe position.

The small "trigger spring" (part 10) that pushes both triggers upward to engage the safety and prevent any slack can be reversed and will place a slight downward tension on the triggers. While you are at it, remove the triggers and clean everything with a Dremel tool with a small wire brush so it is perfectly clean in there and there is no resistance. Yes, it will produce some slack when pulling the triggers but one will not notice it. This small reversal may allow the safety to be reseated by the safety pin in the head of the stock that resets the safety since the trigger will return to the fully downward position, which is keeping the gun from opening now since the opening lever is being blocked by the safety and the pin.

Worth a try. I've had problems like this in a restocked gun.
