Another new guy
I recently was handed down my grand-father's grand-father's shotgun. Serial 9784, which as far as I can tell should be 1877. 12ga hammer lifter with damascus barrels. Again as far as I can tell it appears to be a grade 2. It's in decent-ish shape except it seems to have a couple of broken springs; the left hammer has no spring to it at all, and the right firing pin doesn't seem quite right. Does anybody reproduce the springs for these things? I haven't actually taken it apart yet to fully survey the extent of the issues. I'll get some pictures up once I take some.
Oh and I guess about me. I live in SW Michigan. Besides the Parker pretty much everything else I have is fairly modern, mostly WW2 era or later.
