Jim, I don't think I'll have great difficulty understanding the mechanics involved.

I just want to get a handle on it before I open the patient up.

The gun has gotten hard to open, I don't see the pins protruding excessivly, one's .055" and the other .050., is that excessive?

I also notice the forend moves slightly away from the barrels what the toplever is pushed and since the forend iron also acts upon the cocking slide something may be worn here.

I don't want to remove the hammers unless absolutely necessary.


Thanks, Rob
