Update;

I finally got the CC down to Gale Morgan, I talked to him today. He agreed that this was an original Cartridge Counter gun and that he would like to do the restoration. The price he quoted was under 10K but not much. He told me that if I could come up with some of the parts the cost would go down, maybe by a significant amount depending on what I came up with. I didn’t get a time frame from him, but I plan to call him in a week or so and will check on it then. Gale told me he wouldn’t do the gun unless he did all of it, and it all had to be as correct as he could make it. If I wasn’t up that that then he would pass on the work. I am going to have the gun restored so I am now looking for original parts; I need a 1900/1902 side plate with the short lever arm. I also need a grip safety set up, and I am not sure which grip safety the CC guns had (Narrow or Wide); Ron or Dwight can you help me out here? I don’t think the takedown lever is correct, and I am not sure about the safety lever. Gale wasn’t sure the sear bar was correct either, but I think it is. He was notating that the gun wouldn’t fire and he thought it was the sear bar. I did have the gun functioning with another side plate so I think the sear bar is okay. If anyone can help with parts, let me know. I am willing to pay fair market value for anything you can provide me.

That’s all for now, I’ll add another note when I know more,
Bob M.
