Ejector repair question

[Cold Spring]

I'm pretty familiar and competent with Fox ejectors and almost two years ago I bought a straight grip Parker with known non-functioning ejectors, thinking I’d learn and fix them myself. And learn I did. In spades! It took some time to really understand the Parker mechanism that's far more complex than the Fox Russel Patent ejectors; and after finding some parts and making others, then fitting them, I got the ejectors fully functional ..... now to the tune of some 1600 shots and still counting. Timing of the kicks are still as I set them. Done deal.

OK, with all that said I've discussed Parker ejector repairs with Lou while at SxS events and with my knowledge base I confirmed he knows the mechanism intricacies and wasn’t “blowing smoke”. Also while at Hausmann's earlier this year Lou showed me a box of ejector hammers he'd machined along with other parts and ready for fitting.

Again, I learned and did those repairs myself and never had Lou do any work on Parker ejectors but if I could roll the calendar back two years I would have sent that straight grip Parker to him. All this just my take on the posts here.

I wouldn't recommend Lou. He does great work but if y'all send your stuff to him he won't have time to do mine !!!!

Frank took the words out of my mouth. Lou recently repaired a Lefever cocking problem for me and I couldn't recommend him more highly.
