Restoring Henry F. Tenney's Wife's VHE

[BRDHNTR]

You know Dean, the irony of all this is the from the pictures previously posted and a visual inspection of the VHE would generally support not 'touching it much'. You just don't know what underlying problems exist with these old guns until to you a detailed takedown and cleaning. And it really helps to have professionals like Brad and others who participate in this forum (as members) and who support the goals and objectives of the PGCA available and working with those of us who want to preserve thes guns for future generations.

It may surprise, but there are a lot of members on this forum, as well as collectors and shooters of other guns, make a regular practise of some degree of disassembly, cleaning and of oiling their guns at the end of the hunting season.
