LCS Specialty Grade complete restoration

Posted by Angelo Foglietta on March 31, 2023, 12:04 pm

Hi fellow LCS enthusiasts. I posted a few times about my favorite Elsie. I love shooting and hunting with it. I didn’t know it needed all the work it did when I bought it but the considerable expense for this complete restoration was worth it to me in the end. I’m posting some pictures of the process in case anyone is interested to see the whole process from start to finish.

Angelo,
I was having the same problem until I found that; if you’re using Internet Explorer for your PC’s browser…pics won’t load. You need to use another browser. When I switched to Mozilla, I had no problem posting pics. Not sure if that’s your issue, or not? Posting pics from my iPhone, was easy-peasey :>)
I too would luv to see your restoration…

Hi Rich. If I’m on my phone as I post and want to send pictures from my phone how would I do that?
Thanks

I wasn’t able to post all the pictures. They froze. I’ll try to download a few at a time.

Well none of my efforts at trying to post these pictures from my phone to this post worked. I’ll have to get someone with more technical knowledge (younger) to help me. I’ll keep trying.

Angelo..

From an iphone, go to your saved pics & at the top, there should be a 'select' icon, check off the pics you want transferred (or do one at time)
Then, at the bottom of your message entry, there's an 'upload image', hit that & a separate window will pop-up & you can begin adding your pics.
From there, you just 'add' your pics to your post.
Hope I got this right, as my computer skills are also marginal at best :o)

You can also use a 'picture hosting' site!
You need to sign-up to begin.
I use imgur: https://imgur.com/
Once you've loaded your pics on imgur, there are several options for posting pics on message boards. Copy, then paste them directly on your post or cut & paste a direct link, where peeps have to click on the link to veiw your pics.

Hope this helps...?

Most of the pictures posted. A few having to do with the barrels being re-blued did not for some reason. Thank you all for helping a technology challenged individual learn how to post these photos.

Almost looks like Dewey V. work, except the shop is not quite so hospital clean. Very nice work indeed!
