Greener facile princeps disassembly
 

I am unable to find a Greener crossbolt gun disassembly instruction anywhere.There is a video on Youtube by Devonshire gunsmith showing partial disassembly but I find no complete video or narrative on the subject.

Contact Greener directly and tell them what you want/need to do.

That may be a solution.Checked The Gun and its Development by Greener,a 1900 greener catalog from Cornell publishing , various Youtube videos (with some information there) as well as several forums catering to older British guns.There was a reference to a book, The Greener Story.

Hugh,

I have the book The Greener Story. I just thumbed through and didn’t see anything showing dissembly of the FP. There are some diagrams of patents.

Found a PDF copy of Modern Shotguns by Greener on the net.That text is much like The Gun and Its Development in the modern guns section.This is a gun action with worldwide distribution but amazingly there is not an immediately available assembly tutoral.I will try to contact Greener gun company.

Does anyone have a clear scan of the cocking and assembly instructions included in Facile Princeps gun cases?

Hugh,

I’m not sure this is what you are trying to find. This article shows the label on the inside of a Greener case.

That label is a help but trying to find one in better condition(more ledgible).

Kirk Herrington was asked by one of my friends to work on his FP Greener said he would not touch it send to England.Its a rare brush gun covered.years ago in DGJ.GW

Graham Greener preaches that a FP should only be worked on at the Greener factory.
