[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 2840606, member: 34578"] Thanks Luke, Story time... In fact 3 of the 4 gill-guns were Non-working when i got them. It wasn't an attempt to collect them. More like I wanted a parts gun for the first one. So I bought one that it turned out was only missing the firing pin. So I replaced the firing pin, had it working and thought... "I still need a parts gun for these." So I bought another one for parts and found the only thing missing was the cocking knob. So I replaced the knob and had 3 working rifles. and then I thought... "I still need a parts gun for these." So I found the Wards that was rusty, crusty, used, abused, wouldn't feed, and looked worse than a pig with pimples. I was thinking there was no way I'd be reviving this one. And then after completely breaking it down, cleaning the crud and rust off, and reassembling it, I found out it was perfectly functional, just in very poor cosmetic shape. So I fixed it up and changed the color for my daughter. So then you what I thought?? Well, I thought, "I still need a parts gun for these." And finally I found a guy selling everything but the stock, receiver, and barrel for $30. So that way there was nothing for me to resurrect and I have every spare part I could need for my 1, er.. 2, ahem... 3, wait, no..., 4... yes 4, gill-guns. (and now I'm looking for 1 more to revive for a friend... lol) [/QUOTE]
