Thanks for weighing in on this one, it’s not pretty but everything else is tight and operational.
I suppose it’s a matter of someone in the southern Wisconsin area able take a look and do this work.. Any recommendations? Thanks again for the help! |

Since the hammer is the firing pin, wouldn't a replacement hammer work since it does not rotate in the hole? As long as a primer was not pierced (using American factory loads), I would think it would be ok?

The hammer you mention did pierce the primer once. Scary situation and thankful I’m right handed and it was the left side at that. And I sure felt like a complete fool for letting that happen as well. That was the last time this Parker was fired. I’m curious to find out if it’s worth having repaired since it’s not a show piece. I’d like it to function properly
Thanks again for all of the advise and recommendations. Last edited by Tobias morton; 12-17-2024 at 01:49 AM.. |

We haven't seen a picture of the firing pin yet. What is actually the problem? Will the gun not fire? If the primers are pierced, try a different brand of primer or shell. Some primers are softer than others.

It won't be a prohibitively costly repair. I say get kit fixed before you fire it again. The blowback into the frame from a pierced primer can blow out a chunk of the head of the stock.

Glenn Fewless,(apologies to him if I slaughtered the spelling off his last name, I'm too lazy to go look up his last receipt) former president of the Riflemakers Guild, is the top Laser Welding gunsmith. That is who Breck Gorman uses, and he did a phenominal job on a set of D4 barrels for me.
