Check Out 3/2006 Issue Of Small Arms Review


Recommended Posts

I will try to post the basics tomorrow, as it will take a little time to type it in. May be a bit difficult, as there are pictures too. I don't know if I could have figured it out without the photos to go along with the text, but I'll give it a go. There may be something on the net where the article might be found. I haven't had a chance to see if that's true.

He gets to the point of lubricating the rotor spring(s) but I get the impression from the tone of the article that going beyond that point is really a job for a pro. It states: "When it becomes necessary to restore a drum, please get in touch with a good gunsmith. Not Billy-Bob who has a parkerizing tank at the hardware store.

Thankfully, there are some very good gunsmiths. One of the best that I have seen in restoration is Merle F. Bitikofer. He has the talent and the skills to replace the rotor springs and repair almost any damage. He is the only person I know of that has repeatedly repaired West Hurley C drums to functioning drums....."

Tomorrow, I'll post his address and that of 2 other smiths he mentioned in the article who can do this kind of work.
