Broomhandle disaster....

Great! That's the hardest part. Put the thing back is easier than stripping it. No fixed way, any way works without cause damage is a good way.

Gun oil like "Hoppe's 9" would wash away dried grease. I apply "RIG Universal Grease" inside the gun, and applies "Renaissance Wax" outside. A little bit "Hoppe's 9" can play wax solvant role as well, so the surface does not appear very dry. Works well for me. No oil of any kind on wood grip. If you plan to shoot it, then no wax or grease. This one is a little bit too nice to shoot though.

Weird enough, the disconnector and TD latch on Standard CH is unnumbered. But that's correct.

....Unless I can find a safe way to remove the rocker and trigger assembly, I may just soak her to get rid of the old grease and crud, dry her out and oil her. And no, I won't shoot her. I'll buy a clunker to "fill my boots".

Postie's diagramme, by the way, is from the original 1896 specs (you can tell by the hammer spur). There, you can see the similarities to the standard Conehammer that hadn't yet changed in the later production pieces.

Cheers,

Bill
