Shooting Bull 2,047 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I REALLY hesitate to do this but, are there any good instructions out there for disassembly and more important REassembly of SKBs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J-BAR #18287 6,616 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Occasional malfunction and lack of funds forced me to screw up my courage and take my SKB 100 apart. I am not a gunsmith. I took my time and got it done. I had trouble re-assembling the inertial connector; tiny washers/spacers and spring in there did not cooperate. Dirt Merchant was kind enough to spend a few minutes on the phone and provide guidance. I am not saying he is still available for consultation. Just describing my experience. But if you have good screwdrivers and a place to work where springs and teensy parts can’t escape, I’m betting you can do it. And I’m glad I don’t have to feed myself and my wife doing it every day! Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
