Philadelphia Arms Company Disassembly

[B. Dudley]

I have only taken one apart once. And it was a while ago. I am sure the sears have to come out to remove the stock.
Just so you know, some of the bolting parts on these guns are shared with earlier LC Smiths.

I don't know if any of this may help or not.

Looks like a C-Grade I haven't previously recorded. If you don't mind, could you post or PM me the specifics -- barrel length, grip style, serial number, etc. Has it been restocked? Generally the C-Grade didn't have checkering on the stock cheeks.

Thanks for the diagrams. I’ll have to sit down at my computer and take a look at them.

Serial:214
Barrel Length: 30 inches
Stock is a straight grip that is original but heavily modified. The comb has been cut and spliced and an extension has been added.
