http://www.vintageguns.co.uk/articles/disassembling-boxlocksI just took a load of photos of the removal process for the lock work in an A&D boxlock. I thought some may find it interesting to see. Click the link to see the photo sequence.

While it is laudable that you've taken these photos, I fear there is just enough visual information in them to get an amateur into trouble. And a nice boxlock such as the one you illustrate, bashed up in the wrong places.
I pray that the novice DYI crowd will wait for your detailed explanation of the techniques... and a photo of the dismounting tool before they joyfully attack the nearest A&D gun.

I agree - it is not intended to get the bodgers bashing their boxlocks apart!! I just thought it would be interesting to show the process unfold.
Listen to Kensal people and please put the hammer away immediately!

I bashed the crap out of mine today after seeing that!
Seriously, great illustration of the process.

Thank You Dig, I like this and any more you would be willing to post later.
My guns aren't as nice as that one (low grade American boxlocks) but they are basicly the same mechanically.

Nice job Dig. Don't worry about what people will do with the information. This isn't how to build WMD or a national security breach.

Dr B BS,
Don't firgit the 24 Hr LeMans. It was telecast live for the entire race. I watched bits of the first day and some of the night and then the finish. Incredible speeds and dominated by hybrids.

thanx fer the back-up guys! You might want to borrow my Jack Rowe Video on working on fine Limey Guns- he and Larry Potterfield put that baby out in 2009--and it's the Bible for double guns-- If you use Vise-Grips and Craftsman tools on your matched set of Churchill SLE XXV bird guns, you probably take off your hemmorhoids with a blow-torch--Good luck!!
