Charles,
As another data point, my 28ga repro was also unfired until a couple yrs ago when I bought it from Jaqua's. The forend was a real bear to squeeze (to the point of fear of breaking the wood) onto the barrels and then it was extremely difficult to open/close the gun. A couple swaths of a mill file across the backside of the forend lug on the barrels reduced the force needed to install the forend and allowed for easier openning/closing. Mention the problem and your desired feel of the openning and closing to the gunsmith and they should be able to make it to your desire in a few minutes of their time.

I totally agree with the honorable Mr. Murphy. I've known Roger for a few decades and truly consider him a gentlemen and of the upmost in character. Good luck with your Parker, Charles. You picked the right guy to buy your gun from.

Mr. Bain has his own Gunsmith that he uses and given the gun came in this condition, it would seem appropriate for him to resolve the problem. I certainly appreciate his willingness to do so
