Wait a minute. 4.5 lbs is a bit heavy?
BTW, I think Dean is probably correct on dried lubricant as the problem. |

I bought a 12 ga. VH a few years ago, safety wouldn't budge. Seller forgot to mention this. A single drop of Kano Kroil and overnight it worked perfectly. Old lube and a bit of dirt = cement. Might try that before the gunsmith path. Good advice from Dean, the wrong guy and it might never be right again.

It likely just needs a cleaning.

I thought about Kroil and suspect that will work, but don't wish to contribute to a future oil soaked wood problem. Probably best to find a competent smith and remove the stock first. I would not attempt that myself - remembering Larry Baer's word's about people like me working on Parker guns.
Re the trigger pulls, half the gun weight for the right tube and maybe a half pound more on the left is what I like. Attainable with the Parker SST, don't know, but it certainly is with a good 2 trigger sidelock BTW, never used the forum before and haven't figured out how to "thank" yet, but thanks all |

The ''thumb up'' in the lower right corner.

Dan:
That is true. But I found out the hard way that it will not appear on the lower right of a post you want to thank someone for unless you have posted on the Forum first I must have gone a year trying to thank people, getting email advise from members as to where I should be seeing the thumbs-up symbol, but not having said anything yet, it wasn't there. Probably a very little-known fact about the Forum. I have made up for my early reticence since then.

I know people will flame out with this but place a drop or two of WD40 along the edge of the safety and it will wick it's way where it's needed. If you can get some Ballistol, even better.
