Parker Bros. Try-Gun Tools Reproduced
 

Dave Suponski has just completed a 'one-time' labor intensive reproduction of Parker Bros. Try-Gun tools using an original set as the pattern.

Dave's forte as a tool & die maker really shines on this project.

Very cool. I assume we'll see pics of his handywork here at some point?

He should make a Try-Gun Reproduction to go along with them.

Pictures have been added to original post.

Thanks for your patience.

Dean,Thank you for posting this up for me while I was at work. These tools are being make for a fellow long time member who aquired a trygun minus the tools. The main beam is not in the pictures yet as I have not picked it up from our CNC department. I will show the completed set before I ship them.

Dave, wonderful work. Maybe you could make a set of tools for my A.P. Curtis Parker try gun. Let me know.

The finished product ready for shipping.

Very well done Dave!

Anyone care to tell us novices how these tools are used:bowdown:

Chuck, The main beam mounts to the top rib and are used to measure the length of pull, drop at comb, drop at heel and pitch. The stock on try guns are fully adjustable by the use of thumb screws on the comb and length. The t-wrench is used to lock the adjusting screws once everything has been set.
