Re: A Grade replacement recoil pad
As made, your 1921 A Grade 20 would likely have a slightly concave butt surface under its buttplate and I strongly encourage you to avoid having that surface sanded flat (as typical) when fitting whatever recoil pad you decide on. Find a 'smith who will make the pad base convex to match up with the...

Re: A Grade replacement recoil pad
I agree with Craig on both accounts, and ended up with this one on my AE 16 several years ago. It's a great little pad that I bought from Mark Beasland, if I am not mistaken. As you can see the face is not perfectly flat like a regular Silvers pad, but is exceptionally comfortable and effective in ...

A Grade replacement recoil pad
Just got a 1921 20 ga. A Grade w/original buttplate. Would like to add a period-correct recoil pad, but was wondering what style would be "accurate" for this gun? Any ideas, or suggestions? Would one of the Galazan red types be what was originally shipped from the factory on a gun of this ...

Single trigger
Considering an A grade with a single selective trigger, and have been assured the trigger is fully functional. Having heard that vintage single triggers can be a pain, and that knowing that competent vintage gunsmiths are hard to find these days, especially west of the Mississippi, how difficult wou...

Re: Need A Grade Right Side Ejector
Thanks for the information, Frank. Glad to know the proper term for the guide pin. I'll continue trying to get the ejector fully repaired as I don't want to run into the problem you describe. Additionally, as I mentioned before, I don't like having a gun that isn't in full repair and function. Looks...

Re: Need A Grade Right Side Ejector
So Sterlingworth ejectors would work in an A grade? The "support rod" under the right side (tip/end) of the right ejector kept coming loose and was soldered back in place twice. In line with the old adage of the charming 3rd time, when the gunsmith tried to, I believe, weld it this time, i...

Need A Grade Right Side Ejector
Anyone have any source suggestions for the complete right side ejector of a 12 ga. A Grade ejector? Would take a complete (left & right) set if necessary. Tried AH Fox Parts/Pumpkin Mtn Guns, but they're apparently still not taking orders, etc..
