WARNING! OLD THREAD REVIVAL!!
Hey guys-
Life has been in the way the last 6 months, but I just pulled my 1917 box of parts out of the safe to work on again-
I have it all together, had gotten a few parts from Popperts. After countless hours of trying to figure out why it won't let the cylinder turn or release the latch, I finally figured out the extractor rod is bent! -This must have been from the hammering on it to release the crane.
Anyway, looking for a new extractor rod and center pin. I left a message with popperts, waiting to hear back, Numrich is out of them.
Anyone know a good 1917 smith? -someone knowledgeable with these? I'd like to get it 'onced over' and put together by a pro-
