Brown Sauce Posted March 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Well, I'm still awaiting the return of the barrels and the action. Think here had been a break down in communication, so fingers crossed next week. Oh and if anybody notices this post has been made during the England v Wales game. I've stopped watching it!!!!!

Brown Sauce Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Well here she is all back together, shiny and looking great. Big thank you to RichardH, took a while, but well worth the wait, barrels are perfect and the shiny action is just the right amount of bling.

sc0tt Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Looks fantastic. What was the cost all in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Wow, looks great. Sorry if it's a stupid question but what's protecting the action from rust or is it stainless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 The action looks a bit to bling for my taste and I think I would have blacked the top lever but the stock and tubes look great. Can't wait to get my barrels back from Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 At least we'll be able to tell ours apart at a glance now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Sauce Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 The blingy action was the only way to go unfortunately, after some numpty stripped the colour hardening. The top lever wouldn't budge either, so that's as good as it gets. I can have it dulled down, if its to shiny, which it maybe. Funny thing is Welshwarrior, I've had your original packaging used instead of mine, mon capitan! Lol Not sure about total cost, but will post once I've heard back from Richard.

RichardH Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 You've done a lovely job on the stock Charlie. In terms of the action and top lever the colour hardening was totally ruined so short of re colour hardening which is firstly expensive but risky as the parts can warp coin finishing was the only way forward, it could be lacquered for corrosion reistance if need be. If you can ever remove the top lever the I'll gladly polish and black it gratis Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogwoppit Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I have an AYA no.4 myself that could do with a bit of tlc on the wood. I'd like to give this a go but I don't know how you remove the stock from the action. The fore end wood looks easy enough to get off but I wouldn't know where to start with the stock. Any tips on this? Thanks. Bw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Sauce Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 The no.3 box lock, is dead easy to take apart. Firstly turn the gun over, remove the trigger guard, by undoing the screw at the rear and then turn the guard itself. Under the guard is a screw to the top of the action, remove. Finally under the top lever, is the last screw to undo. Once removed, wiggle the trigger action away from the stock, job done. You may find an additional screw to remove, which is hidden behind the butt plate. Be careful with the size of the screw driver head, as you don't want an ill fitting one which may slip or damage the screw. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
