This is unbelievable my late father flew in lancs during the 2nd World War in 617 squadron(wasn't a dambuster).surely this is wrong.The dogs name was not offensive at the time.We really are losing our way.

Is there a sliding piece in the side of the lump that holds the extractors in place ? If so the is a small hole through which you push down a spring plunger which allows the slide to come out and the extractor removed .You will need to relieve the spring pressured when doing so .
It is essential that the barrels are held firmly when doing this so you have both hands free , I would never and never did this without the barrels being held in a ( well padded ) vice .
BE CAREFULL . The spring and plunger (about1/8 " across ) can fly out when you remove the slide and the extractors will fly out with some force .
Thank you.Ill heed the advice.
Done it was so simple to do.Following the advice from gunman I pressed the barrels down on a wooden worktop only doing one at time.Pressed an Allen key into the hole in the slide and slowly raised the barrels.
I was very surprised how clean everything was.relubed and replaced with ease.

Hope it's going to get sorted it's one of my favourites.Maybe a buyer could be found.

Scully.
On further you tube and googling there are distinct similarities with Lanber ejectors so I'll have a look next time the cabinet is open.

Can’t help I’m afraid, but have you tried googling it? I removed the ejectors in one of my shotguns with the help of YouTube.
Couldn't find anything for the rizzini e unfortunately

I have a rizinni e as a spare gun.
Everything is fine with it all works as it should.I would like to give the rjectors and their mechanism a good clean and lube.Does anyone know how they come out please.

Son had all his kitchen vinyl wrapped.I was sceptical but it looks really good.Up to now durable too.

Definitely clutch alignment tool.Used a huge one for years on artics they are so simple but very effective and save a lot of swearing.

Dont make the birds miss out because of the rats. The rats will still be there but just less visible eating something else - at least under the feeder they can dealt with easily i would imagine
That's exactly the reason I deal with them my way.

We get or we used to get a few under our bird feeder which they cannot reach as its on the washing line.when I spot them I use magnum traps in a proper pest control box baited with peanut butter.i continue until non are caught.i have never had anything in them apart from rats.If they come back I trap again.Interestingly we never saw any until a couple of years ago.

That is really good.
I love the g & r original but that is brilliant.

Thank you 👍
This stuff?
That's the one.

Zebrite is really good polish but as ditchman pointed out on the first lighting it stinks then it's fine.
That's what I used to use.but I think there is a cheaper alternative.

Nothing but total respect for any one who has worked down the mines.They kept Britain warm and built a huge industry.The supply chain and associated engineering work also created thousands of jobs.

Love his work and all he did for Help for heroes.RIP sir

First gun for my son in law 😁
No doubt I'll be playing with it as well 🤔
They are cracking little guns.Wish I'd never sold mine.

The curse of Holts has struck again and space is urgently needed for the new guns. This is the 26" muzzle brake O/U type, model 102. Its is very good condition, thoroughly serviced and ready for bolting rabbits or busy hide days on pigeons. Its one of those guns that everybody should try at some time. It was part of a very versatile set of shotguns/drillings made by Brno at the time and has kept the secret of how to dismantle it to this day. Once learned its easy, but before then, very frustrating.
£40.00 and its yours ! Collection only please.
Used to have the non engraved version one of the best guns I ever owned could hit anything with it.
And yes the dismantling is certainly unique.
If you were more local I'd have jumped at it.

As the previous 2 posts say you have an amazing talent.I love to see craftsmen at work rather than mass produced.There is a place for both.Fantastic work.
