Tongue in cheek question about working on my Parker

[Chaz Doebler]

I just wanted to complain a little. This is one of those projects that has fought me tooth and nail at EVERY turn. It is my own fault, this is the first Parker I ever had apart, and I was probably in over my head, but I am getting there.

I have to admit I got incredibly lucky that I could drop in a new hammer and sear without any fitting. Sear engagement is one thing that I know better than to mess with myself.

I have another hour or so worth of fitting into it, and I have it functioning. I had everything together just one turn loose and it wouldn't function. Tightened up all the screws and it runs like a champ. I still have to go one quarter of a turn on the big screw under the top lever for it to be timed, so I will have to pull it apart and see what is giving me clearance issues.

I also need to make a trigger spring as they appear to be made of unobtainium.
