Take your forend apart and snap the forend iron back on the barrels by itself and see how snug the locking toggle is .

Tough to do on a DH as everything depends on the wood separating the opening lever from the forend iron. The lever only takes the slightest pull on it to get the forend off. Trying to figure where the problem is; the lever?, the flat steel lever spring?, the toggle that engages the barrel lug?, the barrel lug?
The forend locks well on the barrels and lug. You can't pull it off. But when shot the recoil causes it to disengage. |

The forend loop (forend lug on the barrels) probably needs material added and then dressed down for a perfect fit, forcing the forend rearward a few thousandths.

The lever spring only returns the lever after being lifted. You can actually remove the lever assembly and put the forend back on the barrels and manually push the toggle under the lug. If it's not snug, then you could add material under the lug to tighten toggle contact. I've seemed the lug peened to achieve this. Lol

Dont peen any part of a Parker unless you have a desire to rapidly diminish its value.

HI. I have a DH 2 barrel set doing the same thing - forearm comes off when shot. Who would you recommend for the repair? I have had Turnbull do some work on an LC Smith before with good results. Funny thing is the forearm comes off easily on the 16 gauge barrels, but is super tight on the 20 gauge barrels.

You likely have a forend lug issue with the 16g. barrels. Either due to wear or improper re-working.
If you want to have Turnbull's guys do the repair, you can't go wrong.
