Old Guns

Marv's 16ga Model 12 left the factory in 1947; it stands to reason that there's a bit of wear.

The cartridge cut-off was releasing the next shell prematurely, so Marv ordered a new one from Numrich.  Naked eye worn out!  It popped right in and now it feeds properly!

He also changed the hammer spring on his "new" FÈG Hi-Power clone.  Someone had already replaced the FÈG hammer and strut and sear spring with Browning parts and they're almost the same.  So the sear spring needed a tab cut down and the hammer strut needed straightened (although we can't honestly say that we didn't bend it getting the hammer spring changed).  All's well that ends well, I suppose.
