JJsDad Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I assume from your thread you are refering to a gun with disc set strikers. I purchased mine (2 pin adjustable) from brownells in the USA and was lucky enough to have a friend returning from there to the UK who brought it back in his baggage. You need the likes of a carpenters brace to use this particular tool. If you are thinking of purchasing, you should also consider a spare set of the removable pins as they can break if you have a disc that is difficult to remove. They will probably post to the UK as its a tool rather than a component part of a fiream. Be aware that these discs can sometimes be a total pig to remove and depending on the gun can be retained by a vent or locking screw. You need to consider the cost and risk involved in attempting to do the job yourself against getting a working gunsmith to do the job for you. If you make a total pigs ear in removing the disc, getting a gunsmith to remove it will cost you more in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Helston Gun do a set .Buy British . Are they 2 pin or 3pin ? As said it is very easy to ****** them up and can be costly to replace assuming you can get a blank that will fit . I have had to replace a fair few that enthusiasts as well as so called professionals have tried to take out . If in doubt pass it on to some one who has the tools and the ability .

figgy Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Have a look online and see if there is something showing how your guns ISVs are removed before attempting. If it looks difficult give to a good gunsmith to do. I've found if something is stuck fast a good spray of release agent and a light tapping to the part and leaving it a while to penetrate works, if still stuck tapping the end of the tool at same time as trying turn out can help release it. Like hitting the end of a drive through screwdriver on stuck machine screws. Edited November 13, 2015 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
