You're in good shape Wayne. Sounds like a good honest Parker. Post some pictures after the sale. All the best and Happy Easter

Spray some solvent on the uncocking slide and work it back and forth and the gun may start coming apart without dry firing. However, dry firing on a non ejector Parker is harmless. Another thing, it is pretty difficult to blow up a 12 gauge Trojan.

Yea, I was being kinda tongue in cheek with that.

That's what I've done with the uncocking slide. I'll see if that doesn't help. I didn't want to dry fire it if it would hurt anything. I had done a search here last night, and read a couple of old threads where dry firing came up and nobody had jumped in to say "Don't do that" so I figured it was ok at least on a limited basis.
