If I remember correctly, once you get to Elliot Island Road, you still have a 12 mile ride down a one lane road to get the Dave's

I was hunting Friday almost directly across the road from the Blackwater NWR visitors center !

Saw one Sika stag and missed him at about 80 yards with my muzzle loader . Luckily he was only a spiker , if it had been a six pointer ............. my attitude wouldn't be so bright loll's !

My desire to kill animals is slowly diminishing but I still have the zeal to go after the Marsh Ghost a few times a year !

Unless you are missing them, I can't imagine any other reason for replacing them besides wanting modern steel in the gun. Which I suppose there is nothing wrong with that. But I can say that the original floating pins are very berry and strong. I do not think very many of them break.

I am hoping the ones in the gun are actually nickel plated that's semi worn off etc . As the retaining screws in the knuckle are pretty buggered about the only way to get them out would be to drill them I think .

The ones in the gun just look to be aluminum . To be honest the back part where the hammer hits even looks a bit like old plastic . If my eyes deceive me and they are what they should be I have no problem with them or old replacements . Only reason I wanted drawings to make my own , was because I thought originals would be hard to find and didn't really assume anyone was making them .

Brian , if whats in it are usable I'll leave them alone as this gun will probably not be shot more then 100 shots a year if that much . At first maybe a round or two of sporting . After that maybe a couple rounds of skeet a year . I'll use it for a dove opener once or twice and other then that I'll pattern it with several of my buckshot loads then kill a deer with it hopefully .

The person who had this gun also has a 10 gauge lifter with back action locks . That one is missing the firing pins and whatever held them in place . I may try and get that one as well , although someone it appears blued the action years ago !

Yes, the set screws can be hard to get out sometimes and they don't come out at all sometimes. So, given that fact, I recommend leaving them in and shooting as is.
