I recently sent a gun off to Larry DelGrego for some tuning after removing the stock and cleaning stuff out of the receiver. The cleaning did not solve the problem. Since I was not going to learn how to completely dissassemble the receiver parts, in reassembling the stock I noted that a sear spring was missing from the receiver. I sent the gun off to LDG with a note that the missing sear spring was probably the issue.

A phone conversation with LDG informed me that the missing sear spring was hard to solve since the machinist that made them for him had retired. I would have to be patient until a sear spring came available. I agreed to be patient.

Two weeks after the patient period started, while sweeping the floor of my shop, there was the missing sear spring among the dust. It had fallen out of the gun while I was cleaning the interior and I never noticed it dropping to the floor. God is good to Parker owners and Irishmen. JF
