I was at a sale & I bought 3 Texan FW shotshell reloaders (12,16,20 ga). For the price I just could not pass them up. They have some surface rust & just a couple of minor parts missing – 2 springs, 1 plunger & 1 base cup for priming. The 20 ga seems 100% functional as is. The 16 ga has a really neat adjustable shot/powder charge bar. The “use-to-be-clear” shot & powder tubes are all a mess & 2 tubes are missing.
Now what to do with them? The tinkerer in me wants me to apply some TLC & return all 3 to good functioning condition. Is fixing them up just a fool’s errand? Should I just part them out on Ebay?
Any missing parts I’m sure I could even fabricate if need be, but is there a source for the tubes? I know you can get clear PVC.
