Hello folks,
I just aquired my first Parker, a Trojan 12 ga. I am a total rookie when it comes to SxS guns. It appears to be in very good condition, however, I have now idea how to remove the forend. I see that most parkers have a lever, but this doesn't. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks, David

David,While holding the barrels firmly wiggle your finger under the tip of the forend and apply firm pressure away from the barrels and the forend will pop off. A word of caution here...jerking the forend wood forcefully could damage or crack it. Firm pressure slow and steady...

Dave, now is the perfect time to post a picture of the New Trojan Forend Removal Tool available at your local Volvo dealer.

Dave, you ought to use some sunblock when you're outside on these bright sunny days . . .

Oh, no wait - I know why you're so burned looking. . . you've been basking (a little too close) in the glory of those Damned Yankees
