Depends if Grandpa's gun was an F grade 31, thousand dollar grade Ithaca 37 pump, or one of the Winchesters with the gold birds in it, don't you think, Larry?
Hey, I've been inside quite a few boxlocks too, Larry. No mysteries in them. Someday I'll give you some pointers if you like, and, show you the tools.
Best,
Ted
Well, you're now into apples to oranges, Ted. We were talking field or standard grades in both cases. Now surely you don't want to compare even those fancy pumps to an Ithaca Sousa, a Parker AAHE, Fox DE, etc?
Re looking at boxlocks, I'm just up the road from Mark Beasland. Had Mark take apart one of the new Dickinsons (trigger plate guns) that Cabela's selling. He's lots closer than you, and I think may have looked at a few more boxlocks than you have . . . although I'm sure you have an edge when it comes to Darnes.
