There are many ways to rejoint a gun. The simplest is to solder a very thin shim to the hook of the barrel lug and file the shim until the gun will close.

Thanks Bruce
Thanks Bruce,
You have been of great help. This is also a great website. Lots of information. I have hunted with family before I even had my NRA. At the age of 12, by CT law I got my NRA and my first side by side, it was a old 1949 Stevens 16 GA which I still have to this day I am now 40. I only hunt with vintage firearms and now own my first Parker. Last edited by William Maynard; 11-29-2009 at 12:40 PM.. Reason: More into |

We have many members in Conn. who know their Parkers and shoot a lot. Join them at a shoot sometime where they can look your Parker over and tell you more.
It was Bill Murphy who told you what rejointing is. Bill knows his mechanics. |

Hi William,
Bruce is right, we do get together and shoot our Parkers quite often. I personally don't shoot much this time of the year as it's tough enough to find enough time to keep the dog happy and the freezer full of venison at the same time. You should plan on shooting with us in May at Addieville, you will get to meet quiet a few PGCA members as well as other double gun shooters. |

Many Thanks to Bill Murphy for his information. Just to note I ran a search online and they had an interesting video on U-tube of rejoining a old Parker. Here is link; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69LeO9bYKdI Once on the site they also have other videos of removing a dent, honing, etc. The Parker Shoot in Addieville, R.I. Is there a flier or annoucement when this event is scheduled?

Beware of the Larry Potterfield video. He makes it sound a bit simpler than it is. He has you adding metal to the hook, which is OK. However, he has you dress the hook and the face of the barrels to get the gun to close. Hold on here, the barrel face does not need to be dressed, it is devoid of metal rather than having excess metal. Larry is thinking with his file, not his brain. You add metal to the hook and then dress the hook until the gun closes and is tight. Potterfield is a blacksmith, not a gunsmith. Be careful.
