Strong willed was the man that could walk away from bosher towers with one gun! I know strong willed men who do not take their wallet, SGC or a gun slip when taking friends there. And still end up buying a gun or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 I do hope Mick re-establishes himself here on good old PW. The "zombie" themed adverts were quite amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryle Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 I also miss the Bosher ad's, id had a couple of guns from him myself. To keep on topic with this thread, something I obtained on the weekend. A Fred Williams hammer. How can you say no? I'm a leftie, its nearly straight but I'm going to maybe try some stock bending with it when I get chance.

Old Boggy Posted December 3 Report Share Posted December 3 May I ask what method you propose to use for bending the stock? Not quite so easy with the semi pistol grip and the trigger guard tang will also require a bit of fettling, but you might be lucky to get the bend at the rear of the grip. I’m assuming that you’ve done this before, but if not, it may be better being carried out by a professional. Good luck anyway. Nice gun.

ryle Posted December 3 Report Share Posted December 3 Im going to try to use either heat lamps or hot oil. Its something I have not attempted yet however it's something id like to learn to do. I will probably practice on an old wrecker of a gun (or two) first before attempting this one. Im aware the semi pistol grip will make it tougher and that I'll need to bend that tang too, theres only a small amount of r/h cast, so it wont need too much movement... hopefully that makes it easier!

I’ve only done it (quite successfully) on guns with a straight hand stock and made a simple jig which worked pretty well. I used hot oil on rags wrapped around the hand of the stock with a hot air gun, but I would imagine that heat lamps would be more effective and certainly less messy. Good luck and let us know how you get on. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like a hammer gun and a nephew loved using 1 as he could see how it worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryle Posted December 3 Report Share Posted December 3 ---Good luck and let us know how you get on.--- Thanks, It'll be a little while yet as im in the middle of moving house. I'll have a bit more space for such endeavours as well as a vice where im going to help with things. I will try the jig idea for sure. 3 hours ago, kevin55 said: I do like a hammer gun and a nephew loved using 1 as he could see how it worked For me even when I was a young lad, word 'shotgun' gave me an image in my head of a hammer gun ha ha Unfortunately some of these old relics are damn near worthless however that lets some of us buy them cheaply and enjoy them at least!
