Seems so. Maybe I should just come here once a week and read.

Tony: I don't know if you could just quit this forum cold turkey or not because you might have withdrawl symptoms. Look what happened to Chuck H when he was admitted to the ER with appendicitis. Even after IV Morphine he had to get his wireless out and get on line with the doublegunshop forum. Something like that could happen to you and besides those of us less knowledgeable than you would really miss your informative posts and threads! You better just go on because anything other might be too risky.

Fusil-

I was referring to guns with screw-in hinge pins.

Dickson RA don't have screw-in hinge pins.

And Fabbri hasn't made a shotgun with a hinge pin for 30+ years.

hahaha

Tony, don't even consider for a moment cutting back on this forum. Your posts are one of the very few "must read" items that I see here. You are attempting work that most of us can only dream about and we are all the richer with your selfless sharing. Thanks!

Re. hinge pins made from high carbon steel.
One gunmaker from Ferlach shared his experince for replacing hinge pins. He pushes out old hinge pin, then presses barrels to receiver and reams new hole with tool is a bit larger diameter, than old hinge pin. Then he cut the reamer tail and use this piece as new hinge pin.
As you know reamers made from HSS steel and this sreel is high carbon one.
I used this method several times and found it very easy and effective.

Huh? I though everyone in Europe sprayed the hook!?

Hahaha

BTW: I doublechecked on this with Purdey and Holland & Holland (London).

They both confirmed that replacing the pin was the proper way to go. They did not recommend welding or shimming the hook.

In several days I could make a photo of .500 BP Express where I replaced old hinge pin by mentioned above Ferlach method. The gun became so tight I need to apply a lot of forces to open and to close it and the gun needs to be worked up. Its not finished yet.

You guys back on this? Jees get a life. OWD. You should know better.

I'm not posting on this thread again. I'll never post speculative thoughts again also...because clearly...I can never be right.
