Unusual Parker?

[Jim Akins]

Gordon, my thinking is that the spring gadgets are a later addition, I don't recall if the ones observed were on a Parker.

Dean, knew that early hammerless gun were not rebounding, but encountering one is remote, The notches on the extractor have nothing to do with pin tips hanging up on the primers, they are there to assist opening the gun if the pins are down on an empty chamber.

Yup, I know that.... my point was that the non-rebounding hammers exhibit more than one potential problem so, first you have to get them unstuck from the primers, then, if the notches are in the extractors you're home free. I've had them hang up on extractors without the notches even with shells or snap-caps in the chambers.
