Even with the "proper size screwdrivers" I wouldn't tear down a high condition gun. All it takes is one slip of the driver, and you got a buggered screw.

Personally, I just don't have the patience for that kind of work. I could watch an all day seminar on the process, and still wouldn't attempt to do it.

I agree Dave. Some things are better left to the experts, especially the nice ones. It just doesn't make any sense to practice on anything but a clunker or wall-hanger.

The perfect person for this would be Doug Turnbull. He should be there. We could do it at our tent at a specific time.

Darryl Middlebook would be a good person to talk to Doug about this.

How about Darryl?

Why not make a DVD! Austin could do a hammer gun, someone else do a hammerless. Then the PGCA could sell them for a small profit. I agree with Dave, I'm not going to work on any high grade guns (cause I don't own any) but it would be nice to clean one of my beaters if I get caught out in the rain, or simply know how the guts of a Parker works. Thanks, George

A DVD is a fabulous idea . . .

I learned the inner working of a hammerless gun on a PH 2 frame that I got from a member.I was quite an interesting experience disassembling and reassembling that frame. I learned quite a bit. But alas it slowly got parted out to guy's in need and now it's all gone. But at least I know that the parts went to good homes.

Dean Romig · 08-25-2009, 11:58 AM

But that's just the point Dave, you parted it out because you didn't know how to put it back together, right?

Autumn Daze · 08-25-2009, 12:56 PM

Dean....Read the WHOLE post.It said disassemble and reassemble. Smartaxx

Dean,

No I so not ski on Lake Hood the local float plane lake--I suspect that might get me a meeting with the boys in blue.

Jim,

I have seen people ski behind an amphibious plane herein Alaska.
