I'm just a very humble guy in a good place in life.....I've decided to give RU-vid a try....I have a life time of blue collar skills...that I thought I could share with everyone....nothing particular but alittle bit of everything.....we might be changing a motor or shooting a potato gun.....let's see what we can build together.
Dale… that was a major score!!!! It’s amazing that you can find such deals… When people need to clear out and clean up they can let things go very quickly. The seller seemed like she was glad to get rid of the bucket for 1/3 of the original price. Well done 👍 The Old Army Scout…
On that Western Arms one the slot in the hinge pin and the receiver would line up and there would be a hinged lever attached to the hinge pin that would lay flat in the receiver slot. So you could pry it up out of the slot and turn the hinge pin about 3/4 turn and unscrewing the hinge pin and thus remove the barrel from the receiver.
@@dalemayhew8462 Using a large flat head screwdriver turn that hinge pin and it will come out allowing you to separate the barrel from the receiver. There is enough there that with some effort those are both restorable to working condition. Under no circumstance use a wire wheel, grinder or steel brush on them. Take them apart and boil them in water for an hour. This will convert the rust back to blueing. They will look like crap when they come out. Then work them over slowly and carefully with triple O steel wool or a soft carding wheel. It make take several repetitions in the boil tank. You will be amazed how the blueing comes back. Then oil them to protect the blueing.
@@dalemayhew8462 Move the first key then lower the first panel like you did in the video, when the first panel is lowered you can move the key a bit more and lower the first panel a bit more. Then you will be able to move the top over the first panel, you can than move the 2nd panel up and there should be a small drawer under there. That's the way that mine is set up and the one you're showing looks exactly like mine but in better condition.
