A friend gave me his Paterson to work on. What a PITA! I have a question on re-assembly: in what oder do the top plate and the back breach go on? It would seem that the top plate should go on first, with the hand fitted into the back breach as it is placed on the frame and screwed on. The only thing is, I dont want to screw up the ratchet mechanism inside the back breach. Anybody have any experience with this? BTW, I now know why Colt went bankrupt with this contraption. :banghead:
