Thanks Rick and thank you Brian for a great tutorial. I knew it couldn't be as easy as just removing a couple of screws.

I'm glad to see you thanked Brian -
we are very lucky to have a craftsman like him on the board, one that is so willing to share his knowledge rather than keeping it to himself

Another area that needs to be addressed is screwdriver fit. (or turnscrew for the anglophiles) Properly matching, or fitting the tool to the screw is critical. If you can't do that, stop right there. Send it to someone who can, like Brian. I'm sure most here know that, but in case a newbie/visitor happens by, save the cheapie screwdrivers for what they were designed for; Opening paint cans, prying on stuck objects, etc. |

I solved this issue many years ago after I had acquired a few Parker guns and then got curious about how they work(dangerous). So, I found the worst, road hard, beater with a blown barrel and busted stock and missing forend and bought myself a guinea pig for $50. From there is was just trial, error, and swearing. I also made my own dents in the blown barrel just so I could practice using my hydraulic dent raisers. No good Parkers were harmed so I got my moneys worth.

If you want interchangeable bits. The closest you will get is the brownells master set. It is more than you will ever need for any gun work.
It is expensive, but they lifetime warranty their bits. If you break one, they send you a new one. And they DO break.

I custom grind screw drivers when I don't have an exact match. It is tedious work, and I'm not always in the mood.
There's more to it than having a bit that fits. There is some technique and skill involved in turning screws on fine shotguns. Booger a screw, and your gun turns into a painted lady that nobody wants. |
