Default Seeking Parker Gunsmith
I inherited an 1887, 10 ga., top lever, Serial #52,485 from my deceased Pop. It seems to be an "O" grade. I have no memory of him ever firing it. It's been disabled and packed away for decades.
One hammer is sloppy and the other is stiff. I'd like to have it looked at, repaired & cleaned and need a qualified gunsmith that knows Parkers for the hammer issue and to check the gun out overall for an assessment of its condition and if it's fire-able.

Can anyone make a recommendation?
I'm in southern New Jersey.
Thanks Much

Thanks for the tip but Dewey is not taking on any new work at the moment.

Any other recommendations?

Griffin & Howe is fairly close to you. Dan Rositter is the main man there.

I'm so grateful for all the fellow Parker Bro owners assistance. My Pop left me two Parker doubles and I'm educating myself.

Is there a source of parts I can access?

The gunsmiths mentioned probably have a few extra parts. Also, become a member and you can check out the for sale and want to buy sections.

Charlie Yellets in upstate NY may have parts and it can’t hurt to give Buck Hamlin in MO a call as he has or had several parts for LCs and Parker’s.

We used him on my buddy's gun, and am very impressed.
My go-to on European/London guns is Lucio Sosta, BTW. (Especially Perazzi)
