    a repair to a S&W77a

    a good friend asked me to reseal his 77a he'd just got and it was apparent that at some point in it's life a numb nutz had worked on it
    what they intended to do to the barrel band i don't know

    first stage a bit of 1"x1/2" flat drilled for the barrel then the plug and reamed with an adjustable one as the plug is a fraction ove 7/16"

    after loads of milling sanding and polishing i pressed it on and did a test fit

    Nice work as always Ped.
    The Smith & Wesson pumpers are fine looking rifles and rare in the UK although I gather it can be a bit awkward to get them below the limit.

    Nice job, but I wonder if most folks will appreciate the effort ? A ton of work & swarf... reminds me of DIYing crossman breaches.. same issue !
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    on many guns you can easily get spares but the 77a parts are non existant so in this case worth the effort but i totally agree on making things like crosman std breech's
    custom crosman breech's that can't be bought is worth doing but not really financially viable
