I'll never will forget what my grandfather once told me ,, when he came home and I had the old double barrel apart.
" Boy, there are two types of people that take a gun apart. A gunsmith and a fool. And you ain't no gunsmith. "

Well, I got the double barrel back together. And like most kids I didn't listen.. I've been taking firearms apart for about 50 years now. I've made several mistakes over the years.. Some that cost me. But I've gotten fairly good at fixing and working on things..

When I was young there was no such thing as a computer or you tube. Lots of good information ( and bad ) on there.
IF you are mechanically inclined ,, do some studying as to the proper way to take one apart,,, and have a proper screw driver set , like Brownell's sells..

Have at it.. You're not going to learn without doing it..

But like Clint once said ,,," Man has to know his limitations ".

Just had my grandson over this weekend, showing him how to take a S&W revolver apart. Didn't want him to have to learn like I did,, the hard way..
