Do not recall the make of o/u that a woman at my club was trying out belonging to another member. She took it home and the next day no one, owner included could put it back together. It was in a breakdown case and had to be re-assembled. After listening to the gnashing of teeth i recalled tripped ejectors being discussed on this forum and took the forearm inside and using a pencil eraser end cocked it and put it together.
I could not understand how it was in that tripped state until i fired it opened it tripped the ejectors and took the forearm off without closing the barrels. Not closing it allowed the ejectors to not cock. |

Prior to the up coming woodcock season— Some one send me a CHE or better 28 gauge - 28 or 30 inch barrels in case I need the leverage I will take it down and case it with every possible combination. And reassemble it again for each hunt. Dry fired, cocked, right barrel tripped left cocked, right cocked left tripped etc After the flight birds go south I will write the study up for the Parker Pages and return the gun if I don’t forget where I got it Problem solved

Not if you remove the forearm, the ejectors can't trip without the forearm on. With the forearm on you will also re-cock the hammers.

Here I go again, apologizing for something I’ve said here that could be described as ‘misinformation’...
I just tried every combination of dry firing two different Parker ejector guns both with the forends on then off and various combinations of each to try tobget the ejector hammers in the forend to trip and I could not duplicate what I described in an earlier post in this thread... I know it has happened to me in the past by accident - at least once on a Repro and at least once on an original Parker. But the fact that I can’t duplicate it kinda negates anybclaim I made earlier. For this I apologize. If anyone can make their ejector gun do it please post here how you did it. .

Dean, what i described in post #13 was done by firing then opening and tripping the ejectors and then unlatching the fore end with out closing the barrels to re-cock them. I am fishing down the Cape and no guns to try it with.
If you do not try to help you will never make a mistake and you and many others here always go the extra mile to give the best you can. Thank you. |
