Sorry; I read that as the gun not opening to remove the barrels. I think anyone who owns more than two Parkers has one that does not want to break down. Sometimes a gun that has been regularly used developes this out of the blue.
For a long time I thought this was ejector related until I had a hammer gun act this way. I find that looking the other way when breaking down the gun sometimes clears it. On hammerless guns letting the hammers fall usually helps.
I still look on ejectors/extractors as the cause. When you get the gun open, remove the extractors/ejectors from the barrels, clean them well, and clean the pilot hole with Hoppes on a Q Tip.

Best, Austin

This is not unique to Parkers; I have a Fox that does this as well.
