The transmission could not rise to the occasion, though--so it got sold to a young guy so that him and his Dad could mess around with it. I do not have that luxury with the P/G--it is a family heirloom, and I would catch hark from the tomb if I parted it out. That is really all it is good for, though I did get it "running" too. Like that Ford F-100, its "engine" works well and fires on demand--its "transmission and drive line" are toast, though--magazine and tube are ancient, irreparable, and unavailable. A single-shot, pump-action 25/20 WCF with busted buttstock has little appeal, not that I could sell it anyway.
