Blind Dog, you are a lucky guy. Some screws can be removed from the hook while the barrels are on the gun. Some screws just don't quite give us enough room to remove them. I have tried dozens of barrels on Parkers without removing the hook, finally got caught with a stuck set about three years ago. I had to remove the floor plate and the sear pin and springs to get access. In the process, I took a chip off the corner of the stock below the sear pin while the stock was not supported by my too few hands. After fifty years of playing the odds, I finally got stung.
