1926 VHE with Take Down Issues
I recently aquired my first Parker. According to the serial number and other markings I have determined that it was made in 1926 and is a 16ga., VHE. I was told that it had an "excellent" refurbishment by a qualified gunsmith but could not get any info about who or where. The gun is tight and shoots very well. But, I cannot separate the barrels from the reciever. And "at times" the forestock is difficult to put back in place. All of the serial numbers match so I am pretty sure that everything is an original match. I grew up with various SXS's and understand their actions well. But this has me perplexed.
Can anyone direct me to a knowledgable parker gunsmith who might know what the issue is?
Many thanks
Mike
