[Paladin UK]

Here`s some more for ya`ll........



I knocked up this aligning pin outa bit of tool steel, it made refitting the hammers and sears a lot easier



I was having ONE HELL of a job tryin ta refit the sear spring until I remembered this hooky jobbie, and walla Instant refit!! Worth its weight in gold!!



Well, the Wolf spring kit from Brownalls did the business!!Its a joy now!!

Nice work Paladin!  Are you going to leave it as cylinder bored, jug choked, or screw-in chokes?  It looks just the right length for rough shooting, if any is available to you, or Sporting Clays.  That is in addition to cas/was.

Of course, you can make paper shot wrappers to tighten the pattern somewhat

P.S;   Where did you find those cufflinks?

Yeah...I like 24's....Should shoot well with BP w/fiber wads (I'm doing same with 20" )
what a shame all the modern repros have 20" barrels.

Pics bring back (now) fond memories of reassembly (ice pick & slave pins).

Best,
Slim
