I had one of those throwers for years and it worked great ,it was mounted on a 1979 F 150 Wheel and Tire , VERY HEAVY ! My newest thrower which I have had for about eight years I got at Cabelas ,and it mounts neatly on a 4X4 Wolmanized post cemented in the ground just behind the schrubbery off the Lower Patio ! Very convenient ,and I walk out every other day or so and shoot a half dozen clays ,just to keep ready for Hunting Season !

I took the gun in today and my good luck he worked on it as I waited. Some hardened grease on the base of the forfend but the problem lay in what I believe is called the forfend tumbler not seating well in the hook of the tang. There was a fair amount of daylight seen in the fit after he removed the wood and reattached the forearm mechanism. He file fitted the tumbler bit by bit and fine tuned the tang at the end of the process and got a much better snap closure. We stopped there and I am going to put some rounds through it and see. If still a problem I will bring it back for more.
A nice visit and I learned a bit. Also got a nice tutorial on British doubles and handled some guns I don't get to see every day.

Oops. For some reason I said tang and meant to say lug. Sorry for the confusion.
