Fixing a SBE is as easy as putting a spark plug in a lawn mower.
I hate you're so hard up your willing to sell me your dad's SBE.

Got all his guns. This is the only one with a plastic bird picture on the grip cap.
You got weird notions of good taste. Wish I could say Im surprised.

I've changed many a Spark Plug in lawn mowers with aluminum heads. Haven't had to have one heli-coiled yet. On the other hand, I knew a gentleman who sent his JD riding lawn mower to the dealer for servicing. They stripped the spark plug hole & then "Glued" the plug in. Needless to say the first time he tried to mow his yard it blew the plug out.
Around 40 years ago while hunting the Stirrup broke in the left lock of my J P Clabrough sidelock. I finished the hunt with a single shot. I, of course, didn't know just what was wrong then, only that the left barrel won't fire. When I got it home & took the lock off it was obvious what the problem was, so I made & fitted a new stirrup. I haven't had the lock off since & it has never failed to fire Yet.
Some of us are capable of doing a good bit of our own work. I have absolutely no idea what Joe's capabilities & doubt seriously that you do either.

He didnt understand that metal was quenched in the case hardening process. He believes fine double guns are built from castings. He is completely clueless, and argued for about a dozen pages, with actual, English gunmakers, about what a screw grip action was. Ive seen enough, here, to form my own opinion.
I could go on. But, I wont.
Best,
Ted

If everyone was as smart as mr.Ted...
I bet it just kills you to know your dad saw something special in that Italian race horse of an automatic.
