larry del greco tells me that he has "no parts " for hammer lifter guns. He relates a parker story " when the new plant was built they pushed all the existing stock of parts for underlifter guns into the new foundation hole and poured concrete on them!!"

You have to love progress its the american way.
I have a retired navy machinest on retainer; he was employed by the late antique gun dealer c.w. slagle to repair and rebuild flint and percusion firearms. This apparently is a good thing when relating to the del greco history report I mentioned.
