Gerald: I look forward to other responses to your idea for “blowing it out”.

As for me, the biggest downside for me will be: the risk I will bugger screws when taking off the stock to get access into the receiver.

Next, I think the Parker mechanism deserves more care than a blowing out. This is not a Remington 1100 (where I would do that, and have had to in the field when crud accumulated and disabled the trigger).

So, I would be hand carrying mine to the gunsmith in my state with the best reputation.

But of course, if you proceed with a blowing out...then I want to know how it goes for you. I am intensely interested.

John

Thanks Robert; I do know Bill he has one of mine now and I was there this past week. He is somewhat behind and I want to use this one next week. I will talk to him before I proceed. Gerald

First a good cleaning. The look at the sear and hammer notches, they could be worn. On the left side if in fact your doubling is thwn pulling right first. Sear spring can be a culprit too.

Gerald , your idea about carb cleaner will likely be sufficient. If that doesn’t cure it, you likely have worn sears which require filing. I’d suggest a good trigger gunsmith do that. I had to have sears recut once.

Waiting on the evening flights.

I would recommend a disassembly and cleaning.

However, after the wood is removed, choke spray a d blowing it out will not hurt the mechanism at all... that said, doing so may dislodge some crud but allow it to lodge somewhere else.

do not use WD40, There are much better lubricants like Break Free or Clenzoil.

I spent the morning with Kirk Marrington a few weeks ago, leaving him with and "armful" of various tasks on various guns.

I asked him what his opinion was for gun lubricant, and gun grease. He pointed to a one gallon can of WD 40, and a grimy plastic squirt bottle filled with same, and an ANCIENT glass jar of Vaseline, that was about half full.. He said "there you are mate!"
