PauDee Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 After a few times schoting with my TanegashimaI need to put a new pan on my gun. After all of the rust is blown awy I need to restore it . Does any one of you know how the pan , normaly , is attatched to the barrel ? On the side I can see , between the tutchhole and the turningpoint of the pancover , the contour of a pin , and on the side of the breachplug one half of a swallowtale . Paulus. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted June 2, 2015 Report Posted June 2, 2015 Paul, there are lots of photos on this web site and elsewhere showing pans and lids. Do you have the old pan lid? Can you post a photo of your gun? They swing open away from you, hinged with a hollow pin at the far end of the pan block. Quote
PauDee Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Posted June 2, 2015 Dear Bugyotsuji , It is not the pancover bud the complete pan , the pancover is O.k.. After cleaning the butt end of the barrel I could see two red copper "fillings" , and I can see them over the full lengt were the pan is attached to the barrel . I expected a dove tail bud a dove tail is pointing outwards , these filiings are pointing inwards . I am puzzled . Paul. Quote
Brian Posted June 2, 2015 Report Posted June 2, 2015 Pan is not removable. Never was. It was forged to the barrel. To redo the flash hole, they opened up the pan, redid the flash hole, and forged iron back in. The dovetails you see are for the flash guard (Amaooi) and not to fit the pan. I suspect there is no easy (or even difficult) way to replace the pan itself. I am sure Piers will be able to explain the method of redoing the flash hole better than I did. Brian Quote

Paulus, you really need to post some pictures of what you are talking about so we can see for ourselves, can you do this? Quote
