Thats good stuff, need to give that a try. I need a lot of drop at comb. Thanks

Jay - Bring her out to the PUTINTAKINSHOOTINFEST (don't ask) this weekend. You'll get lots of advice

BTW- I have seen this gun. Pictures don't do it justice.

Wait a minute, Jay. The case label implies they are experienced stock fitters. It should fit. If it doesn't fit, send it back to them.

Bill,

That might be a little difficult as HJ stopped making guns around 1912.

John,

I will be bringing this Hussey and another Saturday.

Cheers.

Might try changing the pitch with a wedge spacer.

Think of the guns with two beads

If everything lines up right they should form a figure 8

That should give you an idea of how much rib to see

Boss stubs.

Jeff Christie · 10-31-2013, 05:32 PM

The figure 8 advice is about as good as it gets on a 2 bead gun. Plus a pattern board.

Charles Askins (the senior) wrote that if you lay the last joint of the ring finger over the breech end of the rib you should be able to see the bead just able above it. Of course he was primarily a game shooter.

I am trying to get my head around this and am having a hard time.
