Hi everyone, I recently purchased a second-hand Parker Hale o/u shotgun (Italian made in '81) but the action is very stiff to open/close especially when the ejectors have been triggered. I'd like to strip down the ejectors to clean them out thoroughly and lubricate them to see if that is the source of the problem but I've struggled to find any instructions on how to do that without damaging anything. If anybody here some details or links to resources they're willing to share I'd greatly appreciate it. The top lever and safety/selector are both pretty stiff too so I need to take apart the action (I don't think it's had a decent service in a while) so if you have any details about that too it would probably come in handy. Cheers, Chris

Hi everyone, I recently acquired a second-hand Parker Hale o/u shotgun and although the gun's in pretty decent condition all-round it can be really stiff to open & close. I've narrowed the problem down to the ejectors but I'm struggling to find any info on how to remove them so that I can clean out all the **** that I suspect has collected around them. It looks like the gun is Italian made in 1983, according to the AI proof mark on the barrels. Any assistance on this would be really appreciated as it's driving me nuts. I think I could do with taking apart the action too as the safety/barrel selector is pretty stiff too so if you can give me any hints on how to do that before I start pulling it apart that would be useful too. Thank in advance. Chris
