Come on have a sense of humor,brentD I know the difference in a box lock Birmingham gun and a first tier London gun and how repairs are handled get a grip. I know no one said on the video just for cheap guns .but I did watch a couple of jacks videos so thanks for that.Mark

Tons of humor MC. I've been laughing at The Fuse all afternoon. Some folks made some claims that turned out to be unsupportable. Yours were among them. No big deal.

Don't thank me for the clip. I didn't post it. I just watched AND listened to what they actually said.

Be a bit more careful, professor, when you "step down" to someone else's level of vocabulary, that you don't embarrass yourself. To wit ......


The correct word to use was accepted, professor, not excepted. The two have entirely different meanings.

An old saying comes to mind here ........ something about the pot calling the kettle black.

If you're wondering how I saw this while having you on "Ignore", I chose to open it up and look when I saw the set-to between yourself and Dustin. Nice how that feature works. G'day.

Stanly!!
I love it. You been reading my posts all along. I new it. Any time now, you will be sending me more of your infamous snippy private messages, no? Your always my best proof reader.

Please continue with the grammer sessions. (you should find three or for or maybe more to work on in this message

That repair is for guns that the owner isn't going to pay for a new bolt like it or not you can blow a gasket talk crap but that's the way it is .senario ,guy walks into a gun shop says my guns lose gunsmith looks and say 20 pounds for a new bolt!,, guy..I only paid 10 pounds for the entire gun ?well for 50 p I can work up the lump ..guy says work up the lump it is..see how that works brentd

No doubt, but that's not what they said, is it, MC? Really, you got so defensive so quickly that you just made shit up. Between you and The Fuse, you could make up a whole new encyclopedia of alternative facts.

I remember my visit to the old Westley Richards factory at Bournbrook, back in ~1987 or so. I was given a factory tour by Walter. I was astonished when I stepped onto the shop floor, it was like I had entered a time portal to late victorian England. Each work area had a blacking lamp burning, and all I heard and observed were hammering and the stroke of files. I will never forget that. I understand they do make use of CNC these days, but still adhere to the old ways.

Nope brentD I had productive conversations with jack you are clueless it was the acceptable way to tighten the bite on a certain gun type and not on others I notice they didn't say that aliens had landed either so suck it big boy

So what is the great sin in moving a .001 or .002 inch of metal to compensate for a little ware? Much kinder to an old gun than welding or adding a piece. Gun is still original and good for many more years of service.

It’s a time proven and effective repair that’s been widely used and approved by the English trade to tighten up bolt fit.

Ummm, they build sidelocks in Birmingham, Ya know. I've seen 'em working on 'em, with just files, blacking lamps, and hammers.
