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.
