Hey JayCee
I have a friend just like you.
I had a beautiful Famars hammer gun in 12ga that I sent to Briley for 28 ga tubes. It came back and the left bbl fired occasionally. I handed the gun to Chuck Webb who summoned the tube maker and told him to make a new tube which he did not, but he did shorten the firing pins! Now even 12 ga shells would not fire consistently. While I was waiting for new pins my friend
offered to buy the gun. He got a really good price. He then gave the gun to Bill Gillett, an ancient gunsmith. Thirty minutes later the gun was working.Bill found that the left lock had been taken apart and reassembled incorrectly.

My friend and I hunt quail and he always brings the Famars which is why I say you and he are alike.
