It just hasn't been shot in at least 30+ yrs and wanted to make sure everything is cleaned and oiled.

Dry fire using a snap cap or fired shell in the chamber. Check for a normal crisp trigger pull, the ejector works and ejects the shell properly, and that the gun cocks properly. If so, just keep a small amount of grease on the barrel hook and tapered lug bite, the receiver knuckle, and for end lug.

Don't let anyone inside that gun but a qualified expert Parker smith.
Better still, follow Chuck's advice. .

The above advise is spot on. I live in the Denver area and send the Parker work that I can't do myself to smiths out of state.
There is Steve Bertram in the Boulder area who is good on a lot of double's, but specializes in English guns rather than Parkers. |

I will definitely take all of your advice, as I am definitely a novice Parker owner. Just a random question, is there any break-down manuals on the SBT?

Break the gun down in three pcs. and do a standard clean and grease like Chuck said. DON'T take it apart and get a screw driver anywhere near it. It is much to beautiful and nice just like it is ! Mark

Just a heads up, if you take the forend and barrels off, don't dry fire the gun then proceed to take the gun apart. Always take the forend and barrels off with the gun cocked. If you don't, the hammer in the forend will have to be pushed back down before reassembly. For cleaning the barrels inside, a bore snake is great followed by a lightly oiled patch on a cleaning rod. Wipe off all the old grease and reapply. Then reassemble the gun and wipe the metal surfaces with a lightly oiled cloth and your done.

The most difficult problem to solve on a SBT is when one starts doubling on you.
