Query on Rejointing Over and Unders & the Draw
18/03/15 08:34 PM

Hi all,

I'm aware of the process required for rejointing a side by side gun, however can anyone tell me how the same is done for a Over and Under gun? The pin cant be replaced as the lugs the barrels rotate on are generally integral to the action body. Are the "hooks" built up via TIG welding perhaps?

And to go back to rejointing side by side guns, the way I see the process working the barrels are effectively being pushed back to restablish contact with the breech face (either by replacing the hinge pin or building up the hook). However by doing this the front of the rear lug is taken out of contact with the draw. So shouldn't the draw or lump be built up and fitted in the rejointing process to provide full contact again in the circle? I am aware of some guns having a replacebale hardened insert in the draw I presume to aid when rejointing, although what about guns without this feature?

I'd be interested to hear some thoughts!
