The cocking slide is not going fully forward, so that the cocking hook, on the barrels can release from the crank. Close the gun and fire both barrels, and it should now come unhooked.

I assumed that thank you. Sadly it didn't work. It actually created more tension when initially opening the action. Still stuck. Is there a safe lube I can apply before trying again?

Shot it a couple times with snap caps then sprayed it up pretty good with WD. Will wait a few days to see if it frees up.
Anyone know of a gunsmith familiar with Parkers in the Update NY - Buffalo area?

You shouldn't have used WD40 as it will gum up, attract dirt and eventually harden.

Appreciate the input . Sadly wasn’t enough. What are your thoughts on loading up and actually taking a few shots with live ammo? Any chance that would loosen her up?
