After reading page 138 of The Parker Story, I believe this model GHE (1902) had a leaf spring. The good book says the coil springs were a later introduction circa 1918 or so. Thanks Julian, you put your finger on the problem. I'll have Dan Cullity fix it or send it out to Brad.

No, the trip spring is a coil. It could just be that the trip is stuck in the down position due to dried grease or dirt. You need to study how Parkers work. The spring you are referring to sounds like the top lever spring. Two altogether different springs.

Thanks Chuck, I stand corrected. Either way, someone else is going to take this apart and fix it. I just want to shoot the dam gun on skeet!

Chuck is correct. I just had the top lever spring (leaf) replaced in my 1905. Your top leaver spring sounds ok based on your description of the problem.

Allen,
I had Jim Kelly, Darlington Gun Works, replace my top lever spring and time some screws while it was there. Like I said, I think your top lever spring is ok if it displays any tension on it. Mine had zero tension....it had broken. Sounds like it's your trip spring pin. Some friendly advise.......Jim has been great to me over the years, but he stays very backed up on his work. Charles |

Thanks Charles. Dan Cullity lives and operates his biz from his home in Barnstable about 8 miles from me. Dan's work is exceptional. He'll take care of this problem and his turn around is very good. His son Ryan will probably do the work.
