J-BAR #18287 Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 What is the proper name or term for the region of a side by side shotgun that is immediately to the left and right of the opening lever pivot? You know, those two kinda half-spherical masses that house the firing pins on a hammerless gun? Thankee kindly.
Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Bad Hand has nailed it according to W. W. Greener; "Standing Breech."
Virgil Ray Hality, SASS# 37355 Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 And on the face of the standing breach you may see some kind of insert that requires a 3-pronged tool to unscrew it. Those are called "whatever they are".
Tom Bullweed Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 You use a spanner wrench to tighten/loosen that recoil shield insert properly. They are custom but can be made with simple tools.
Cabalero Chuck Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 The "standing breech" as you are calling it contain a "box type lock" , I believe.
BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 I think it is called the "stump swell". Blackfoot
J-BAR #18287 Posted April 17, 2011 Author Posted April 17, 2011 I posted this question in several locations. I think the "Standing Breech" term in Greener's book refers to the whole vertical block. It turns out that the part that gets engraved, those hemisphere thingies are "fences". See link: http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=190248&start=0 Just think how impressed your fellow competitors will be when you exhibit your new knowledge. Thanks for your efforts, Pards, even the, ah...attempts...at humor....
EE Taft Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 I was gonna say cost-a-ma-rockies! But I could be wrong.
