Parker #159159 ?? CHE

[John Rutledge]

Bill, I have a 32 inch/no safety 12 guage DHE without a safety. The mid bead is a small metal one and the front beads were ivory....one is missing and will be replaced soon. The documentation saids it left the factory with a half pistol grip and two triggers. It has been modified to a straight stock and a single selective trigger.....probably a Miller by the looks of it.

My ejectors are also broken and I have trouble se-assembling the gun when I take it apart. If any of you ahve any suggestions, please let me know.

John,
My ejector problem was that the ejector stop plate located in the barrel extension was missing.The ejector rods would slide right turough and fall out of the gun when breech was open.The small set screw was also broken off.
I had Larry DelGrego replace the screw and solder in a new plate .
He mentioned that this was a common problem with these old Parkers but easily fixed.
I will have gun next week and am sure DelGrego will have it right.

John, best advice for Parker ejector problems is to send it to Del Grego.

[Bill Faulk]

John,
Larry DelGrego's number is 315-894-8754, 895-7395.
If a Parker problem exists,this man can fix it.He is also a real Gentleman.

For what it's worth, my 16 ga CH (1913), has an ivory middle bead and an ivory front bead.
The front bead is in the shape of a half sphere with the flat side toward the breech.
I don't know if it was made that way or if it split but the cut looks clean.

I haven't seen gun yet but what you described sounds like the replacement beads DelGrego put on this gun.
Thanks,
Bill
