Mr. Quack:
Many good members have tried to help with good advice. But without inspecting the gun, it is difficult to tell what the issue is. However... if the gun worked before you gave it off for stock finish, and it is not working now, there is likely something inside the action that is incorrectly assembled or broken... or missing altogether.
I suspect the cocking slide was not properly engaged with the cocking crank. But that's just a suspicion.
If I were you, I'd take the gun to a responsible gunsmith, familiar with Parkers, and have it looked into. The fellow who mucked with the last time is not likely to know what he did wrong.
Best, Kensal
