I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be comical. I think it happened from birth with my ear size. My ears at birth were the same size they are now. Mom almost had to have a C-section over it.
Back to your Parker. I am a qualified gunsmith, have been working on guns since 1974. I'm guessing your problem does not have anything to do with the brass pin, but probably does have something to do with top lever. The brass pin, if I'm picturing this correctly, is simply imbedded in the wood. I can't imagine how that would make any ringing noise. And if one hammer was hitting the pin, unless the pin is put in cocked, they should both hit. Try holding on to the top lever while you dry fire the gun. In fact, hold various parts of the frame while dry firing the gun. It could also be the sear once disengaged. It really could be a few different things.
And I'm not an advocate of stove bolts, except on stoves, or brass pins, except on brass beds. Jake
