Default Stuck Parker Barrels

What causes Parker barrels to not come off the frame? I can take the floor plate off and disengage them manually but they will not come free once the gun is assembled. It cocks fine and works OK, VH grade, 162XXX range. Thanks much, Jerry

Jerry, It sounds like the unhooking pin is sticking. Take off the forend and see that the pin that protrudes from the front of the frame is free.

Or it could be crud build-up in the mechanism.

You didn't try a set of barrels from a different Parker did you? This should never be attempted without first removing the cocking hook from the barrel lug.... (voice of experience)

Free up and lubricate the cocking slide. Most guns will come apart if you fire them. Only ever had one that I had to disassemble.

Scott is right. I have to pull the triggers,releasing the hammers on my VH to take the barrels off also. Nearly drove me crazy before I discovered it.

I need to figure out the mechanics of these Parker guns. I can assemble a Smith or Fox in a dark room but I've not been much into the Parkers but I think I'm gonna be. I need to figure out exactly what makes this gun work. I have all the Parker books, somewhere in there or in the DGJ there should be schematics. Jerry

Jerry, Go to our home page and click on FAQ. The tenth question down has a great link to Parker disassembly and reassembly. Also on the home page is a link marked "Technical Info" There you will find a great breakdown of parts with the correct terminology.

Jerry, Parkers can be disassembled in the dark.

I'll get to the point where I can take one down and reasseble in the dark. This gun will not whip me, but I want to understand WHY it's doing what it's doing, not just fix it. If I use a hook from another set of barrels, they stick also. So...it's not the hook, it must be in the floor plate mechanism i.e. the cocking slide or the unhooking mechanism or something in that area. It can't be much and I will figure this out. Jerry
PS. If the hammers are down and that unhooks the gun, that's certainly a place to look and see what's different there.
