Small sideways play.

Many Parkers with no obvious wear or abuse rock on the hinge pin a bit when open. It is hardly worth adding metal to the hook to solve that problem, but it is one way to address the problem. I suspect a few guns came from the factory with this minor looseness. I choose to ignore it.

Hi Bill.
If my gun came with a small rock on the hinge as per' factory that's ok for me . I will do as you say ignore it and put the grease on the hinge pin.
All the best Dave.
