Thanks John. This job is way above my current pay grade. My contribution was to try and find a replacement part. That is a great instruction sheet though. |

The top lever spring was kind of stubby and that one looks very long. It also doesnt show the post that a Parker spring has

That spring that you posted a picture of is not correct. That looks more like a mainspring for an LC smith. The parker top lever spring is small. About 1” long and has a post on it.
Whatever that spring is that is being advertised as fitting a Parker, is NOT for a Parker.

Now that shape does look a lot more like part # 19 compared to the first one you showed.

Dan, That TP7203 spring is SIMILAR to a Parker top lever spring. But not the same. I have a number of them on hand and have used them before in Parkers when I absolutely have to. They need their post filed down a lot. As well as the legs of the spring shortened some. They are also very stiff and can be tough to get installed. But they ARE workable.

Spring
I put one of these in my duck gun and Brian is spot on does take some time to fit and is a very strong spring but that is what I wanted for this gun. I did some creative grinding of some needle nose vice grips that aided greatly getting spring into place. When I shut this gun on a cold duck day it closes and locks with authority.
