<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi all,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Y'all might remember my mentioning the
rebuilding of an entire action stack on a Baldwin D (1956) with Renner
action parts, Ronsen Wurzen hammers and those crazy conical front rail
punchings!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've partially rebuilt many actions...ie
new hammers, shanks, flanges on some, new wippens on some, just some new
let-off buttons and hammers on existing shanks, etc, but I've never gone
down to bare frame and start from scratch.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Question: is there a proper protocol
on which to install first, second, etc? My thinking is to install
new let-off buttons first (in existing holes), then wips along with travelling,
then shanks/travelling. Any problems with this order? Also,
would it be more prudent to use the existing let-off button wires and leave
them in the rail. The new ones came with the wires on, so I would
have to unscrew them all possibly taking wood with it on removal. Removing
the old wires from the rail might damage the holes in the rail, eh?</font>
