Gentlemen,

Thanks so much for the assistance on the Parker not opening when the forend was attached. You guys picked out the problem in a second after I sent the photos, guess a picture is worth a thousand words.

Anyway I flip flopped the firing pins and that resolved the issue. For your information, this receiver was partially assembled and I had no reason to disassemble the firing pins. Lesson learned, check others work.

Now I moved to the next issue and that is the setting of the safety. The one in the photo is not what came with the gun, so I'm not sure it is correct. Maybe you can see from the photos of it that it looks good enough to use and I must say the stock wood in the safety relief area is really crumbly. Someone had used epoxy to reinforce the wood.

I have one other safety from the pile of parts I have but the top of the lever is quite small compared to this one and this one fits the safety slide slot fine.

The adjustment issue seems to be in the depth that the safety falls into the stock relief.

Brian, If you think I should replace it, and you have one, please advise me and I will buy it.

Thanks again guys, it's a relief after weeks of frustration.

Greg
