So you do have ejectors. If 1 will not hold in the cocked position it is above my pay grade. At that point all i can say is do not take anything apart and wait for a professional to give advice. Parker ejectors in need of repair are in need of an experienced smith.

SUCCESS!! I was able to bring the hammers back a fair amount using a quick grip clamp ( the kind you find a hardware store) after taking the assembly out of the wooden forend. Flipped it over and use a screwdriver to ease the hammers back! Thank you very much to everyone for your insight. One strange thing which I'll have to figure out, the right barrel ejects a shell 10+ feet behind me while the left barrel does not eject at all.

I’m no expert by any means, however I had the same issue with a recent purchase ...... VHE skeet gun. It turned out one of the ejectors was broken.
I ended up sending it to DelGrego for repair and a good cleaning waiting for its return.

They are about an hour away from me. He did a total restoration on a CHE Parker for my father. Expensive, but amazing work! I cant imagine you will be disappointed. I'm thinking of having him touch up the engraving and case harden for me as well on this one

Piggy backing on this thread. Should a gun with ejecters always be cocked before removing the forend?

It does not really matter.

Thanks. I continued to search older threads after I posted and it was suggested to be sure the gun and extractors are cocked before removing the forend.
