Safety Lever and Safety Lever Sleeve Needed

[Pauly B.]

I will both call Larry DelGrego and join the Parker Gun Association!

Mark - That's how it should work... not by bidding against each other but by sharing the wealth.

...No, I'm not a socialist but I do believe in taking care of each other for the common good.

Paul, Is this your only Parker? I ask because if you have another as an example, These parts are fairly easy to make with a grinder and a drill. Several years ago I saved a similar GH. It had a replacement stock and no safety parts inside. The lever and sleeve is not really very high tech. It's just a lever that connects the safety slide, and when the safety is on, it swings into position to block the trigger blades from engaging the sears. It's more a matter of the angle that it is inletted into the stock, than the refinement of the lever itself. The jacket is just a sheet metal sleeve to wedge it into the stock so the lever swings freely. Sorry, I used to have some pics of it before my hard drive died a couple years ago.

It is unfortunately, my only Parker, so I don't have a template to work from. If I don't find one, hopefully, eventually I will be able to buy another Parker and make one.

Paul,

So that we may communicate clearly please use the "Technical" reference diagrams from the PGCA main webpage. The links below will open to the diagrams and the list below provides the proper names of parts.

I thought you needed 2 seperate parts until I looked at the diagrams and realized that you need only one:

Part# 28) Safety lever and jacket

Yes, you are correct it is part 28. I have an old Parker diagram that shows it in 3 parts (the jacket (sleeve), the lever, and the pin), but on the site it is Part 28.

There are three parts involved

Paul,

If you want to make a the safety lever group send PS Forge a Paul Harm a PM. He has one that he is going to insert into a restock that never had one. I know this because I sold him the gun and bought the part for him from a PGCA member.

If there is a good machinst out there Paul may even loan this part to them so that they may copy it...

Thanks for the info. I plan to start saving to buy a 10 gauge hammerless damascus gun, (I load all my shells with black powder) so if I don't find the safety lever and jacket by that time I will just make one using the original from the new gun as a pattern.

I appeciate everyone's input.

Many people here have removed the safety actuating sliding pin in order to eliminate the automatic safety feature. Many Parkers were sold without safeties. David
