well I have ejectors.
I for each barrel there is 1. I pulled out the extractors..but on the forend....then tried to push in the extractors. They did not latch or stay in. So I assume that means I have a broken something " ejector sear" ? Does that sound right ? Bummer..it is a beautiful gun. If this proves true then I will have to find a gunsmith to fix it. Thanks for your help Charlie |

Charlie Welcome! I sounds like the ejectors need to be cocked. That is assuming of course that the gun has ejectors. What grade of gun is it?

I believe the gun has extractors.
I.e they are split for each barrel. I believe the grade is GH 2 (grade 2 I guess) Anyways I tried to cock the extractors via the link http://parkerguns.org/pages/faq/ForendProblem.htm But when I push them in they just pop back out. Any suggestions ? |

Charlie, If you are trying to cock the ejectors by pushing them in at the breech end of the barrels that will not work. The ejector hammers that are located in the forend are what needs to be cocked. This process can be a little tricky for the uninitiated.

Dave,
take a look at the FAQ I pointed him too. I have never tried to do it this way but it makes sense to me? Rather than pushing the hammers(?) on the forend the way I have seen you do, the FAQ suggests removing the barrels and pulling the ejectors out to the fired position; then putting the forend on the barrels (the barrels are still NOT on the frame). That simulates the barrels being on the frame and the ejectors in the fired position. Then place the muzzles on a carpeted floor and press down on the ejectors to get them back into the cocked position (use a book or a scrap of wood to push them GENTLY down). Pushing down on the ejectors at the chambers should transfer the force through the rods and cock the ejector hammers on the attached forend..... yes? If they stay cocked, the forend can be removed from the barrels; the barrels replaced on the frame and the forend put back on and the gun is back in good working order. If they do not stay in the cocked position and the ejectors pop back out the forend will need to be repaired by a competent Parker gunsmith (Larry DelGrego?). Does this sound right? Does my FAQ read OK or do I need to rework it? Robin |

Robin, That would seem to make perfect sense. For me though I think I would be a little worried about bending the ejector blades as they are kinda delicate.And if that happened I would feel like a spring loaded dumbass.....
