Digfind acquired: 1920 rework of a WW1 artillery

Bill Jensen · 01-02-2005, 11:40 PM

Dear Mr. Vlimmeren,

After about 4 hours of working, I have freed up the receiver from the frame, bolt, toggles, and many more parts. Hitting it with the wedge did the trick. plus a massive strike on the tip of the barrel to crack the rust, and allow the liquid wrench to soak in. The parts slide freely now.

The next is the firing pin, but it is very corroded, and may not ever come free.

Sincerely,
Bill Jensen
