How hard is it to install a Parker bolt plate?
Is it just a matter of driving out the pin to remove the old plate and installing a new plate? Or do you have to fit the new plate?
Thanks Pete

It depends on what vintage the plate is. The first-generation removable boltplate has a sloped face which the bolt overides as it locks up the gun. This design has machined cuts on each shoulder of the plate at the same angle as the plate itself. The second generation design has parallel cuts on the sides of the shoulder which are cut slightly below and at the same angle as the face of the plate. You need to determine which one it is first, then get a replacement ( I think Galazan sells them ). They usually do require fitting and are seldom if ever a drop-in item. KBM

Many find it easier to TIG weld it than replace it.

In my experience, (second generation) they need some fitting to get the lever where you want it. Don't try to file it down while its in place.

Thanks to all that answered.
Good to hear from you Brent, Bruce told me he had a brother that frequented this site, but I had forgotten all about it.
I found that I didn't have to replace the bolt plate after all, a little dirt had got behind the extractor, a little cleaning and it's as good as new.
Pete

Long ago I fomulated my own Laws of NonFunctional Mechanical Devices (NMFD). First Law of NFMD is: 90% of all problems are cleaning problems - so try thorough cleaning first. The Second Law is Read the Instructions - covers another 8% - 9% of all malfunctions. Third Law: If 1st and 2d laws don't apply the thing is broke! Find someone who knows what they are doing to fix it (assumes repairs are considerably less than cost of replacement) or buy a replacement.

Jerry, those are excellent laws to live by while coexisting with infernal machines. Even though you posted them three times I think you should leave all three posts up there so they can sink in for the hardheaded among us...Geo
