Hello Mark , I wouldn't take the gun apart either but there are professionals which would ,you would be surprised how much crap ,small hay seeds ,old hardened grease , gummed up oil etc. which is inside the internals and especially if it has sat for a while ! As for the bead ,there are a number of Parker gun Smiths on our site that will be happy to help you find the correct bead and as for the pad ,a " PGCA Letter might state if the pad was original to the gun ,if it were then the original would be nice to keep if it is still usable but the gun probably left the factory with a Dogs Head Butt Plate !
