Gun won't open

[gman]

I think that I have a cheap plastic snap cap that came apart inside the gun after I dry fired a VH and now the gun will not open. Tried to open with the forearm off and no go. Not 100% sure this is the problem but had a problem with a cap before.
Any suggestions outside of a major disassembly for which I am not qualified.
Thanks

Whew! Got it open. Tapped on the caps softly with a cleaning rod and soft swag. She then let loose. Seems the cap separated and by tapping came together. Was able to pull it apart with my hands once out. No more cheepos for me.

Eric you do not need to use snap caps in a Parker, you can dry fire them and you will not hurt the gun. Toss those snap caps.... Eric
