They usually need a little tuning. And a really good cleaning! It looks great though. Let me know if a new cartridge guide spring doesn't fix the jamming. There are a few other things that may need tuned in.
Catt57 brought a couple of his Gill guns to the last ENS and I really enjoyed shooting his, so I blamed this new acquisition on him !!
I'll take that blame. I love these things. They are just so much fun to shoot.
Will do Catt!! Thanks for your help and all the info you are sharing with me!! As soon as I get it right I will let you know so you can shoot it!!
Found a hair line crack in the wrist so I opened the crack yesterday and worked as much gorilla glue into the crack as I could and let dry . After work I drilled a 1/4 inch whole down through the wrist and installed a 4 inch length of 1/4 inch all thread and more gorilla glue. Should help strengthen the wrist and stop the crack from progressing! Grey line in pic is where I put the all thread.
That sucks. At least a small crack isn't fatal to a .22 usually. Sounds like your repair should work. (Although I'd have done it with a wood dowel.)
If the wrist was thicker I would have used wood,I did not feel I would gain much with a 1/4 wood dowel and anything bigger was asking for trouble LOL. I have used this method a lot remodeling historical homes, works well!!
Were you able to date it?
