Early VH question

[B. Dudley]

Replacement bolts are not manufactured. I was mentioning that the bolt replacement is easier providing one has spare parts.

Ill think of something. I have been planning on working on it but with temps in the 115+ range the past week I have given up working in the garage. This VH has some problems but the wood is much nicer than my 1912 VH. I am guessing the earlier VHs had nicer wood. I am going to post pictures when I get it all back together. I also find it interesting that the barrel appear to be uncut and measure 29 15/16''. The matting ends before the barrel. The guns are a lot of fun especially when you can pick them up at auction for $200.
