    1920? Ideal Breakdown & Assembly Archived Message

    Posted by Jeff Moll on June 18, 2007, 11:31 pm

    Just inherited a Elsie from my father-in-law. Near as I can tell from the website is this is a 1920 Ideal. Double trigger ejector model. So I took it out of the case it is in two pieces, separted at the break. The forestock is attached to the bottom of the barrels and the break (open) lever is pushed to the right. I would prefer not to damage it. This is my first side by side, so it is all new to me.
    HOW do I put the two pieces together? Is there a guide to the care and feeding of this gun??
    THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
