I didn't think this thread of David's shotgun restore could get much better. Then Henry reciprocates with the amazing inspirational rare engine rebuild. Showing us what can be done in a superb shop staffed with experienced craftsmen with the knowledge , skill, and resources to take on the really challenging resurrection of a nearly dead 906 engine.
Many things impressed me. The skills to weld the mag case, the knowledge to identify and locate the parts to pull this rare engine together, the meticulous preparation and assembly of all those pieces. But what really blew me away is the ability to snake charm that chain into standing straight up during the assembly :-)
Well done Henry, and great pics too. Thanks for sharing. Sure can't do your business any harm to let it be known what your team can do.

Cheers Richard

Wish you would have kept the Cessna! I could have possibly worked some of it off on the plane! :)

Some day Henry... am saving my pennies!

In related news: David, I have the trigger guard for the 311.

Hey Neil, I didn't open the box. How does it look and did it come with screws?

The only screw is the one that is part of the trigger guard (integrated). It is an unfinished piece but is well made. However, it does not look like the screw thread on the guard matches the receiver (I will check tomorrow at school with my thread gauges) and it appears the rear of the trigger guard will not clear the rear trigger. I will take some photos in the morning and forward them to you.

Oh I figured it would need some "fittin'". yeah send me some photos. Thanks
Oh..I'll be at the shop all day so I won't respond until after 6 pm.

OK. I will be in class then (metal engraving Friday nights and the whole of Saturday) but we should have a break where I can check email.

what ever. as always no rush..

The Elsy got back to me today and I couldn't be happier.
The craftsmanship is impeccable. I can't wait to take her out and see how she shoots.
Thanks again Dave.

amazing what I can do with a rattle can huh...

Glad you like it Henry.

Home at last
 

Not that I'm a "last word" kind of guy but the finishing touch.
It's a box I had laying around.

Oh, Henry!

So? Did you give "both barrels?" :)

Great looking box there Henry. The shotgun fits in the case well too.

Cheers Richard

+1 on that one .....
