Had a grip screw that the 1/16 hex stripped out >:( so I had to drill it out! I used 3 different size LEFT hand drill bits I had laying around starting with a 5/64. Worked perfectly! ;) Anyway after seeing the small metal fragments I decided to give it a complete cleaning, It was quite simple the only tools used were a small punch and a golf tee (pictured to the right), here are some pic's!

Rich. Quite impressive, for sure!

That is a first on this forum to my knowledge; thank you for posting this one. I was especially interested in seeing the hammer spring. How easy or difficult was the reassembly?
That is a long knocker's golf tee.

Back in the day I could Knock it 300+ but over the years I lost about 40 yds.
I used the punch to line up the mag catch after depressing the spring, the diameter of the punch is smaller than the pin so it slides right in then you can work the pin in without hurting your fingers!

Thanks, great pix's.
I've completely disassembled my Seecamps many times. Pix look very familiar. I believe I could do my R9 now.
Thanks,

SWEET!

The Question is did you get it back together OK?? :'(
-
Thanks Rich, ok now how about step by step detailed instructions?
Could you disassemble the slide also? ;D
Doen't have to be today. ;)

After next range session I will document step by step if of interest and no I haven’t tried to disassemble the slide, maybe next time!
-
Thank you Rich!

Rich. Very much interested in that. Will be a huge help! Thanks!

I'd also be very interested in a step by step guide, along with any potential difficult areas and what needs to be re-lubed upon reassembly
-
I'm impressed! (And it takes a lot to impress me anymore.)
As for that long knocker's golf tee, I noticed it even though I gave up golf 30 years ago after having thrown a $300 putter into a water hazard. ::)
-
What kind of putter was that costing $300 30 years ago? I have thrown entire sets into the pond, left putters in tops of trees, and even snapped every shaft in an iron set across my leg. "Terrible" Tommy Bolt said the most important thing is to throw the club forward so you don't have to walk back to pick it up.
-
I use to be bad about that, as well. Throw the golf club, yes, always forward and archery the same; would throw the bow, never the arrows. ;D
-
I would think a golf club would feel better to throw than a bow but don't know for certain.
-
Tracker, I have seen a putter to the likes that Richard speaks of, it has a Gold Shaft! ;D
I use the cheap $100 putters, and have thrown a custom 7 iron in a hazard also! Had to purchase a new complete set!
Now I throw them forward! ;)
-

It's not, which is better, but both have the same flustrations for me. If I made a bad tee shot in golf and thought I should have done better, or a bad putt; or if on the archery range, made a not so good target hit, the bow would go. Still have the bow and no damage; not the clubs. ;D
-
A golf course can be a dangerous place. Once, while playing a 50 cent Nassau I suggested to my opponent while he was bending over his short putt that his next putt was good. He responded by standing up, doing a 270 degree turn and forcefully throwing his putter at me as I hit the deck. Another time I hit into the slow group ahead on a par three and the gentleman on the green took out an eight iron and hit it back to me. All of these adventures and more happened before I was 17. Bill Russell said that his mother told him to stay off the golf course because of the bad characters there. He said she was right.
-
Great story there, tracker. Glad you were not injured.
-
Another time I was injured due to my own stupidity. I was playing in a match play tournament and teed off on the first hole. I was so impressed with my shot that I walked behind the opposing player as he was swinging. His club cracked me across the left eyebrow; that was the end of that match; funny what the picture of a tee can do to spark recollections.
-
Your right Tracker, I just might invest in one of John's take down tools after all this! ;D
-
I dunno, Rich! Seems like you're doing OK without a tool. However, it would be good to have.
-
We appreciate what you showed us, Rich; that is the beauty of this forum.
-
Rich. We'll now be looking forward to the step by step. Excellent.

Tracker:
It was one of those "whizbang" custom putters of the day. I've forgotten who made it, but I purchased it in London back when I was considerably more liberal with my money than was good for me. Around the same time, I also purchased a few custom suits (from some shop the name of which I have also forgotten) on Savile Row, and a pair of custom John Lobb riding boots. I wore out the suits, still have and use the boots, but never even tried to retrieve the putter. (Maybe the greens keeper did.) One thing I realized with crystalline clarity at that moment was that I would never be anything more than a "duffer" in golf. I decided that life was too short not to concentrate on activities in which, as Hemingway would say, I could at least aspire to "look good in there."
-
I know, right. That’s why I don’t post much-I’m too busy reading earlier threads on this forum. (Well that and looking for my golf ball) Excellent information here and fun too!
-
I think you found your level of expertise.
-
More to come, right, Rich! :)
-
I just went back and looked at Richards earlier post of the 1911 disassembly http://www.rohrbaughforum.com/YaBB.cgi?board=Other;action=display;num=1268444387 now that got the wheels turning! ;)

More to come, right, Rich! :)
