Parker VH Won’t Cock or Open

[B. Dudley]

First off, a Parker is not a drawbolt gun. So your comments about removing the pad to remove the stock are not correct.

My recommendation to you would be to just open the gun and try applying more pressure than you currently are. It sounds to me like you are just hitting the spot where the gun starts to cock itself on opening. And you are not applying enough pressure to move through that point.
Some may wonder how this can happen? Well it can. I have had guns shipped all the way across the country to me from people who said they could not open the gun in this situation and there was nothing wrong with them. They just were not used to the feel of the gun cocking.
