Finally received my UGEX 9.3 in and it looks great. No instructions of any kind came with the rifle and this is my first double so bear with me. I knew enough to figure out how to install the barrels and the forearm and did not dry fire it. But I remember reading somewhere about taking the pressure off the springs before storage. What is the proper way to take this rifle apart for storage? Will post photos soon but would like to add if you are on the fence about ordering one of these on the group buys, don't hesitate any longer. Rifles are well worth the money and you could not find a better gentleman to do business with than Dale. PS: After all these years of being here why can't I post photos? It is a pain to go to photo bucket and do it. My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | ||

If you want you can email the pictures to me and I will post them for you. Congratulations on the new rifle! I solved the spring tension problem by getting a hammer double...  ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

Releaving the striker springs. Two words "Snap caps" To store un-cocked, pull the triggers with the snap capes in the chambers, then remove the fore end before opening the action to take off the barrels. That way it doesn't cock the gun. DRSS member Constant change is here to stay. | |||

With rifle open,pull both triggers,close action with both triggers pulled back. the hammers won't catch on the sears.You can break the rifle down by removeing forarm with out reopening the gun. You should see the fireing pins sticking out once the barrels are removed. JD DRSS 9.3X74 tika 512 9.3X74 SXS Merkel 140 in 470 Nitro | |||

Since this is Bastille Day, aren't all Chapuis owners supposed to drink copious amounts of wine, don a beret, and run outside around their homes naked firing their doubles while shouting "Viva La France"? Thought I read that somewhere... SCI Life Member DSC Life Member | |||

Jim...are you looking for excuses for your behavior at the last DRSS event? ****************************************************************** R. Lee Ermey: "The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle." ****************************************************************** We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!
