Greener facile princeps disassembly

[hugh rather]

I am unable to find a Greener crossbolt gun disassembly instruction anywhere.There is a video on Youtube by Devonshire gunsmith showing partial disassembly but I find no complete video or narrative on the subject.

Contact Greener directly and tell them what you want/need to do.

That may be a solution.Checked The Gun and its Development by Greener,a 1900 greener catalog from Cornell publishing , various Youtube videos (with some information there) as well as several forums catering to older British guns.There was a reference to a book, The Greener Story.

Hugh,

I have the book The Greener Story. I just thumbed through and didn’t see anything showing dissembly of the FP. There are some diagrams of patents.

Found a PDF copy of Modern Shotguns by Greener on the net.That text is much like The Gun and Its Development in the modern guns section.This is a gun action with worldwide distribution but amazingly there is not an immediately available assembly tutoral.I will try to contact Greener gun company.

Does anyone have a clear scan of the cocking and assembly instructions included in Facile Princeps gun cases?

[Ken Hill]

Hugh,

I’m not sure this is what you are trying to find. This article shows the label on the inside of a Greener case.

Kirk Herrington was asked by one of my friends to work on his FP Greener said he would not touch it send to England.Its a rare brush gun covered.years ago in DGJ.GW

[Bill Murphy]

Graham Greener preaches that a FP should only be worked on at the Greener factory.
