Fulton shotgun woes
« on: January 30, 2008, 08:27:12 AM »
Hello
I have a s double barreled shot gun partially disassembled.
It's marked: The FULTON SPECIAL on one barrel
HUNTER ARMS CO. INC.  M'A'A'S'  FULTON,N.Y. U.S.A. on the other barrel
I have parts'illustrations from both Numrich and Stoeger,but both show individual springs for the sears,and my gun has a single sprig for both.
The best assembly aid that I have is for a Fox shotgun.
I know that there is a lot of different guns made by Hunter and Fulton.I hope that someone here has information about mine.
Thanks

Hello,again
If I cancock the hammers,I can reassemble it without any further disassembly.
How do I cock the hammers on a Fulton Special?
I discovered how to cock an L C Smith.

I cocked the hammers and re assembled the gun--without the sear spring.
It fell out when I removed the stock,so I don't know how it fits.
Any instructions that I  have,are for guns with individual springs for each sear.
I would appreciate any help from any one who has information about double barreled shotguns wit a single sear spring

Sorry I've only worked on a couple and I just don't remember any more. I can't even find a blow up on the internet.. I'll look in some of my parts diagrams and see if I find anything that can help..

I can't tell you for that model. I have one Fulton and it only says THE FULTON on the receiver. It was my Grandpa's and as a Kid I shot it a bunch but I haven't taken it apart it 30years and don't plan on it. If and when I do it will be getting a new blackwalnut stock and a new bluing.

Kragman71-- perhaps pictures would help with your dilemma? The only reference to that model shows 2 sears and 2 sear springs.. Is the spring a leaf or a coil? Since the spring fell out when you removed the butt stock are you sure it's the sear spring?? The parts diagrams show 2 versions and they are defined by whether the sear spring is a coil or a leaf.. also the sears are shaped differently. Box locks can be a handful to take down and put together!

Thanks for the reply.
My Fulton special 12 gauge  has a single spring to actuate both sears.
The Numrich catalog shows one with a spring for each sear.
The sear is the long tapered part on the top of the receiver;facingto the rear.
You would have to remove the stock to see it.Be very careful.When I removed the stock,the spring fell out,and I don't know how it was installed.

Hello,Everyone
I disassembled the Fulton,and took some pictures,as asked.
Before reassembling,I tinkered with it,as I had been doing for a heck of a time.
Within 10 minutes,I had the spring in the right .
I' may be slow,but stubborn.
Thanks again

I'm really not sure.
Everything "looks" allright,but I can't engage the safety.It may just be that i'm not strong enough. Two years ago,my backbone collapsed onto my spinal cord and put me in the hospital for three months.I'm recovering,but at greatly reduced muscel strength.
I'm NOT crying;In three months,I saw a LOT of folks in worse shape,who won't get any better.
I'm doing just fine.
I must get a dummu rounds to use so I can test  the gun to check the action.

Kragman - I've always thought that I had a Safety problem with My Fulton Special, maybe not. This could be just a double safety. break the barrellls open and close it. This will cock it and push the safety "on safe". When I push the safety forward to the "off or fire position", it will not go all the way. pull the safety back to the "On safe position", then forward to the fire position, it will now work. This has always happened. I got the gun from My great uncle, and I don't think it was ever shot much, the bores are excellent. I think I looked this up once and it was made in the 20's or 30's. Hope this Helps.

Thanks,every little bit helps.
I removed the safety spring and removed some of it's oomph.Now i can push it with my thumb.
But not when it's installed in the gun.The problem is the safety slide is bound by the stock.
Without the slide,the safety works fine.I'm going to assemble the gun without the safety slide,and see if the action works.
I'lle back
