parker trojan

[OLD GEEZER]

I need some advice about why my gun does what it does. When you break the gun open to load it, if you don't open it all the way only one barrel will fire. Then if you break it all the way it will fire both barrels. Is something wore out or maybe just need cleaning. Hoping it is something simple. what do think ? Thomas L. Benson Sr.

Always start with cleaning. Dirt and dried oil varnish is the cause of most Parker problems.

I took the gun down and found broken part. After replacing and cleaning where do you oil the parts before assembly. Thomas L. Benson Sr.

- My ballparker (OK- ball park) guess might be the cocking slide and joint roll- Col. Day is correct- main cause of minor Parker problems is usually dirt, crud, grease etc- How far did you dis-assemble your Trojan--

I have a later series 12 gauge Trojan receiver with many parts- all working- but no trigger plate or sears- by later style I mean- no recess in the receiver for the small doll's head barrel rib extension, and the coil top lever spring in the cylindrical housing- Let me know if you need anything by PMS- Now that we are allowed to sell Parker guns (thank you JD and the BOD) with compliance with BATF regs- we can also sell receivers, as long as they are shipped through FFL. Good deal all around--

-- Boy oh Boy Dave- between you and Colonel Day and his sage observations about me and Sarah Jessica Parker and the Trojans I should bring to the event_ I assume Bruce meant three- a 12, a 16, and a 20 gauge--

I have to be extra careful. I thought I was referring to the Private Message Service we Parker lads have for communicating sans threads on the open Forum. But you are right- about 7 years ago in March I was a judge for a structual contest for the Oddessy of the Mind program, Jr. High School- and at the State level- The kids had to build a structure from balsa wood and glue with a designated center, it was set on a plywood base with a 1" black pipe about 3' high-- another circular piece of plywood set on top, and then barbells of known weight added until it crushed-Great event--but the highlight 9for me anyway) was the "Soccer Moms" who came with the team from Petoskey, MI-- they had custom powder blue sweat shirts with huge letters- PMS on the front- below in smaller case- Petoskey Middle School.

Will son Danny be getting a 28 gauge VH in his stocking this year? Great grouse gun I hear--
