I would really appreciate any info on this subject. I have seen some Brit boxlocks with both end caps slotted, some with just one slotted and the majority with no way to unscrew them from the outside. That's assuming, of course, those ones are threaded. Has anyone seen a tool to remove these? Maybe something to pop 'em out if they were pressed in or some kind of a spanner to unscrew them from the backside? The reason I ask is because I shy away from buying guns without an easy way to replace the hinge pin. I know, I know, just shim the hook and bob's your uncle. Unfortunately that doesn't do it for me, too many years as a machinist. So if any kind soul out there has actually removed these unslotted endcaps and then found a hinge pin that could be unscrewed or pressed out I'd love to hear about it. I'm reluctant to buy a gun just to experiment. Thanks
