Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 2015 East Texas Campfire Gathering

I have indeed taken apart both of the two I own. Luckily the room needed the walls repainting, anyway, when I took the first one apart.

One of these days I need to find that box of parts and put the old 1907 back together. It is heavily worn, and in fact the recoil spring had a large amount of visible mechanical wear on it, and needs replacing.

The better of the two:



That one had a firing pin gummed & stuck, which I discovered before shooting it. That one I only took apart from the back end

I guess I should develop some loads for it. The first ones I tried did about 3 inches at 50 yards, and then started stringing upward as the barrel warmed. I guess that was intended to correct your hold on escaping convicts, as they got farther away
