Help! I got my dads very old single shot 12 Gauge Whippet Model C after he passed away. From this forum, I have recently learned a lot about the way this single-shot gun was manufacturered for hundreds of small hardware stores, but I cannot find any evidence of a trigger diagram.
My problem is I have attempted to clean the gun, which was definitely needed, but not being a gunsmith (or having much experience), I punched the two side pins out which made the trigger come apart. I did this before I learned I should have taken off the rear stock first, by removing the butt plate/pad. Now I do not know how to re-assemble the trigger. :banghead:
Can any of you experienced gunsmiths provide even a hand drawn, rough diagram on how the trigger mechanism all goes back together? A rookie will definitely appreciate any and all help!
Thanks!
