Hey, Marc, what kind of work are you doing for that wonderful "wife"? Do you think I could take on a project for her to grease the wheels a bit on my project?

Hi Bill
I'm supposed to do a partial bathroom remodel for Diane. Not sure how much grease it'll throw on the tracks but that's ok. I don't mind waiting a little longer with Dewey. The results are always worth it. Cheers Marcus

That's right Calvin. Dave Suponski's first post on page 1 of this thread explains it. Probably all Parker (and most other makers) "rubber" buttplates, whether "dog's head" or not, right up until sometime in the 1940's were gutta percha. There is a surprising difference in weight between a gutta percha buttplate and one made of plastic - the gutta percha one will be easily twice the weight.

Hey George,
Where are those pictures? No, not pics of grits and scrapple, although the combination would make a great breakfast along with a couple fresh fried eggs. Wow, it's easy to get off topic. I have to go cook breakfast. Dave |

Jim Kelly at Darlington Gun Works has the gun now to put back in shape. I took these pictures just outside his shop. I have never posted pictures here before but I'm going to give it a try. Here goes!.......George
Well, I tried! Could some kind person tell me how to post pictures here? Thanks, George Last edited by George Lander; 05-25-2010 at 05:04 PM.. |
