American Derringer

[Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933]

Does anyone KNOW how to remove the pin that holds the barrel on the frame on an American Derringer?

Got it out.  Serrated pin pressed into the frame.  It is not intended to come out easily.

I tried a LARGE punch and a ball peen.  Would not budge.  That is why I was asking.  Bond and others have a screw so you can easily change barrels.

Ah So Deska.  Bigger Ball Peen??

On a related note, is American Derringer still around? Their website is dated 2011. The street view of the address (below) looks pretty run down though there is a sign in the shape of a derringer outside.

 

 

I'm curious as I have an American Derringer that I bought in 1999 in 45 Colt that is way off POA at derringer distance.

Yes, I had to obtain the latch that locks and unlocks the barrel from them a couple of months ago.

I had one years ago they wanted me to send it back to them for a barrel change so I sold it instead now I have a Bond

Anna Ball Peen,  would be a great SASS alias

It's a serated pin and it only comes out one direction. Im in the process of converting my American derringer to a quick barrel change out.

Bond worked for American derringer and when the old man died he had a disagreement with the wife who now ran the company and went his own way. Both are very reliable and built like tanks.

Good Luck Pards!
