Trapmaster 1100

[gendoc]

I'd like to have one of the Seneca Wingmasters, them are neat guns !!!

I have a friend that does sporting clays, he has both, the tm 1100 and the sy wlngshot.
2 different worlds indeed.
He has taken dove with the wingshot

John back when there were still pheasant here in Michigan I had a blast hunting them, they were super good eating too.  It would be nice if they made a comeback, we can still hunt them but it's rare to even see one these days.  Use to be able to just pick out a field anywhere and take a walk through it and kick up 3 or 4 of them without even having a dog.

Looking at the Blog , that is one technical interior!

Exactly the reason for the practice gun.

Up to my elbows in it this morning...
It don't look as bad inside as I expected. I'm not going to post pics along the way because the blog I linked to above has better pics and step by step than I could do plus, I don't want to stop and clean my hands and such to handle the camera.

This has to be the scariest part so far...
(I'm using pics from the blog here)
Getting that end out of the valve body with the gunk that was keeping it in without kinking the brass tube was tedious to say the least. I finally had to cut a piece of wooden dowel to fit into the it against the hammer and drive it out with a hammer.
It was sketchy because I was driving against the valve spring and had to whack it pretty good.

Folks... there are a ton of screws and keeping them in order to insure proper reassembly is a challenge.
The other issue is getting to a stopping point before being distracted. I got the new orings in and the valve back together when Betty Lou called me up to the house for breakfast.

My printer is out of ink and I don't have internet access in the shop. It's a metal building so the wireless from the house won't connect. So, I'm running back and forth to check the blog each step of the way and completing that step from memory... not my strongest asset.

My metal pole barn has no signal either.
That is one of its GOOD points... Off the grid so to speak.

I hate to admit it but this Trapmaster may just be the first gun repair I walk away from. I'm taking a break from it now. We're gonna go dip the boat in the water soon as the pie comes out of the oven.

Hopefully the pie and fishing trip will give you a chance to recharge and take another shot at the trapmaster.  If not, there's still Mac1.

Yeah, I told Betty Lou that I may end up sending the my original TM to MAC1. I don't want the power mods, just reseal it. I'll keep tinkering at the practice gun. We have a couple week shut down coming up next week at work. I'll have time to spend with it. There is alot of stuff crammed inside of those clam halves. I'll get it, I just have to walk away from time to time. I certainly would NOT offer to reseal someone else's trapmaster.
