storage ?

[TARNATION !!!]

While it may be somewhat unconventional in appearance, it is useful if the gun is to be stored vertically to have your Parker muzzle down. That will not allow oil to find its way into the stock head. If it is hanging on a wall, just a slight tilt toward the muzzle will achieve the same thing.

[C.O.B.]

If your gun has ejectors and the springs are relaxed make sure you recock them prior to taking the forearm off. I learned this the hard way when I broke a DHE 20 down to take to a shoot.
