Brent if you hear that ringing in the middle of the night, get the gun out of the house! It's probably the previous owner handleling his prize parker. that thing might be like that Plymouth automobile, Christen I believe was it's name. Gary

I'd sell it right away to someone on this board, in fact, most hauntings are caused by an exchange of money so you might want to give it away.
I'm a stockmaker, and in all honesty, your pin is in there because your stock is internally cracked. It should have been glued inside, maybe an hour glass plug inlaid or a wafer wedge of steel used but not a pin through the side. They might as well used a stove bolt and nut! Jerry |

Sheesh! You guys belong on Comedy Central.
 Thanks for all the help! I think it might be a broken hammer spring. They are coil and captive, right? |

Brent, I have never seen a broken hammer spring on a hammerless Parker.

Gee whizz,Dave, I really didn't expect an answer like that from a life member of the PGCA.
Just forget I asked, thank you. |

Brent, here's a thought... why not just send the gun to DelGrego or Bachelder's any of a dozen or so well-known and respected Parker experts and end all the guesswork. Heck, it could be any of a half-dozen issues that cause that ringing you describe.

It is a 16bore on a #1 frame-Dbl Triggers, a 1929 gun. She's tired but sound. BBls are sound and ring true. She does have a poorly done brass pin in the head of the stock about 1/4"behind and down from the top and rear of the reciever. When I trip the front trigger, I hear a ringing and feel vibration in that crappy brass Pin. Do you think it's the top of the hammer hitting the pin? No worries on the back trigger and no vibration in the pin either.I tried two sets of snap caps thinking it might be one or both of them , but it does it only on the front trigger. I will be restoring the metal first and then re-wooding, so it is relatively moot but I am still curious anyway. What do y'all think?
