Fulton model

Posted by Byron Whitlock on April 8, 2024, 1:34 pm

I purchased a Fulton model at the Tulsa gun show on Saturday. After removing the forend and barrels I am not able to re-attach the forend. I know there is something I need to do but I don't know what.

Hi Brian:

That's a pickle! Is the gun cocked BTW?

The Fulton is much different than my regular Elsies.

I happened to look quickly online and there are some videos (on YouTube) on the subject of the Fulton guns. Perhaps your answers lye there?

I'll have to see what I can find. The only thing I saw on the LCSCA site was how to take it apart, I found that after I had already done that

Bryon, I didn't have any pictures but I do now. If your receiver, barrels and forend look like the picture then the forend will go on.

I am not finding that to be the case. My gun looks just like the photo and the forend will not snap in to place.

Is there a lot of resistance when pushing the forend down? Mine takes quite a bit of pressure and then snaps on firmly. The "J" spring does that.

Without having gun in hand, hard to tell what is going on.

Took my Fulton down to my gunsmith, Dean Harris at Skeet's Gun Shop today when I went to pick up another gun that he had worked on. He found that someone had worked on the forearm mechanism and mad some bad mistakes. He was able to correct them and get the gun ready for use while I waited. He has been good to visit with any time I visit and it is worth the two hour trip to his shop.

Byron that is why I asked you if your gun looked like the pictures I showed. There was a good picture of the forend showing how it mated up to the barrels.

It did look like the photos you showed but some welding had added too much to some connections

Thanks and understand. That is reason I sent the pictures because I had just taken the barrels and forend from the receiver and laid them out and then just put it back together again. So someone messed with it and should not have.
