Parker Trogan

[George Lander]

Wayne: One quick way to check if your Parker is "on face" or not is to take the forearm off & grasp the muzzle end of the barrels and shake them from side to side. If on face there shold not be much movement betweet the action and the barrels.

Best Regards, George

Thanks George. I tried that and if there is any movement, I can't feel it.

The only problem I've found is I can't get the barrel to come off unless I dry it. I did some searching on the forum and apparently this is a pretty common problem. I'm hoping some cleaning, and lubing will work on that. That's the way I'm going for now.

Will it hurt to dry fire occasionally? I don't worry much with newer guns, but this one is pretty old. I'll have to pick up a set of snap caps for 12 ga.
