Sean,

Lifter Parkers are a joy to shoot. By the looks of it not much money would change hands for the one you have. I know it is not for sale and I purchased one like it several years ago for about $850.00 and it is my sporting clay Parker as well as a great dove gun. What I am trying to get around to is that your original thought to have a winter projest is a solid one. You have received good advice on a bath of Hoppe's #9 and light work with 0000 steel wool on the surface rust. Any good penitrating oil would work well. Apply around where the barrels join the frame as well as the lifter button in front of the trigger guard bow. Let it sit for a day or so then try to push the lifter button up. A very light tap wih a small plastic hammer might break things loose if not add more penitrating oil and wait it out. I enjoy projects like the one you have undertaken.

Kindest, Harry
