My Parker won't cock

[B. Dudley]

Yes, it sounds like the gun still needs a little more attention to be made compleyely right, but at least you are finding your way onto the right Track. And with many guns out there, they only do not work properly, because the last person who worked on them did not know what they were doing.

A few thoughts on your post. Both the unhooking pin in the frame and the unhooking slide are backed up with coik springs. They sould both push back under hand pressure, but spring back easily and smoothly. Your dented up trigger plate will effect the movement of the unhooking slide and can lead to the barrels not wanting to release from the frame when taking down. You will want to repair that issue for sure.

When I said that the fore-end held that pin in place may have been a mistake-quote on my part. It is actually held by the tightness of the fit, and it can’t back out because the fore-end won’t allow it. I had to take the whole receiver apart and clean everything like it was mentioned to me. But for the pin to be positioned like it was supposed to be, I saw no other alternative to the way I actually did it. There isn’t enough room between the triggerplate and the frame to allow for me to depress the rod on the triggerplate to properly engage the pin in the frame. It’s working fine now, but if that wasn’t the proper way to install it, I am all ears, but as I see it, my way worked as well. There are no gummed up parts in the receiver as like I said, the whole frame was taken apart and all parts cleaned. If what you say is true, how could it be working now? I still appreciate all the help. If I ever find anything online for the proper assembly, I’ll be sure to post it. I will also let all know if I have any trouble with the shotgun by the way I was able to fix it, I will follow up with that as well. Thanks.
