    Bonebrake Hinge frame?

    So silly question... Did Dan Bonebrake use WGP hinges that he modded? Im Finally going through the some dozen plus 30 gallon totes of misc parts and guns that ive accumulated from my time at Gearheadz, and found a black WGP hinge frame with Bonebrake gems. Some of the stuff I bought off my old business partner Keith was a bunch of NOS Bonebreak parts... a dust black Bonebreak Bushy and this hinge. Whats it worth? I also have probably 30 plus Bonebreak Valves (used them in almost every custom build/on par with my tornado valves) and Bonebrake Angel stainless hammers.

    Very cool. I grew up in Oregon, so I love seeing unique stuff like this. I can only imagine what else is in those totes!

          I have 3... in that box. I thought there was more. I have another Tackle box of misc Bonebreak parts in another bin i think.

          I have no idea what they are worth. But they are NOS stock. We were at Dan's office and he was letting us dig in some parts bins for some project and we came across a bunch of his old parts. We ended buying the lot. I ended up buying whar was left from Keith at GearHeadz PB.Click image for larger version

            Curious about the Bonebreak hammers...how are they different? You explained the valves being similar to Tornadoes.

              The Hammers are for Angels. My understanding is its a Boron Hardened Stainless steel so you dont end up with brass shavings in the gun. The bolt pin wont deform the hammer as well. The valves were what they put in the Bonebreak and Bonebreak'ed Autocockers. I replaced my tornado valve with one. Ive built multiple bobbed half blocks using these. I dont have any of the angel valves unfortunately.

                A lot of bonebrake cockers came with the Wgp hinge. At the time it was a 150 or 250 dollar upgrade and was a big seller. It’s a good frame and tons of people bought it. As a player people bought what the shops had that worked (more bps) and the WGP frame was popular, and it’s a good frame.

                too bad it’s ugly.

                    More than a Wgp hinge because there may be a bonebrake out there that needs those jewels basically, but not a whole lot.

                      Yeah I sort of figured, if I can find that one guy needing it to finish his build.... other wise its just a WGP Hinge lol
