Parker Repo Repairs - Page 2

Mr. Bain has been at the Baltimore gun show since about Friday. I have no idea whether he is in contact with a Parker Repro mechanic. However, when buying an unfired thirty year old gun, things get bound up in grease. I would go to a mechanic rather than to the salesman after all this time.

Yes, I thought a selector switch would be redundent. The safety switch moves on/off freely, but the triggers remain solid

Sorry, I didn't read closely. My mistake. I'm sure the triggers just need to be taken out and cleaned. Grease has probably hardened and has locked up the triggers.

I sure hope it is something that simple. Still waiting for a reply from the seller I bought it from off Guns International.

Any good doublegun gunsmith should be able to address this issue. Double triggers are simple mechanisms of common design, that's why it's all the rage on double guns...reliablity. But, there are exceptions, I suppose.

The gun was sold as never fired. Given when they were made hardened grease is a possibilty I guess

Roger Bain,Inc came through and is having me ship the receiver and one set of barrels back to him and he will have his gunsmith fix it. Good dealer!

Good luck to you on the repair. Sounds like the dealer is of good intent.

Charles,

I handled your 28 ga., 2 bbl set while Mr. Bain still had it and there was still a fair amount of hardened cosmoline on the barrels and we couldn't get the 28" bbls & BFTE on or something like that... not wanting to force anything, he put it back in the case. I still kick myself for not taking it home that day. You got an awesome Repro and I'm sure a good cleaning will take care of it and you'll never look back.

Regards,

Jerry

Good to know. Currently, both barrels fit the receiver and eachforend fits it's designated barrel. The splinter won't close on the 28 barrel. I agree it is a great little gun. Hopefully a good cleaning will free up the triggers
