Thanks, George.

I could weld the hook or solder a shim in or something and put it back on face, but I don't want to if I don't need to. I don't have any cigarette paper, but 0.004" copy paper can be withdrawn from the action where the barrels meet the breech, but can not if it is placed on the extractors. This is with the weight of the barrels unsupported, holding the gun by the grip. Is this still shooting condition? I just don't want to make it bad. I don't plan on shooting it a bunch.

The gun is a Ferlach built Peterlongo Cape Gun in 16 ga x 9.3x72R I inherited.

I also tried placing a shim of paper in the hook, and this brings it back on face, and I may just leave it in and see what happens. I'd hate to have to go to welding/soldering and filing over 0.003"!

(Also, I just heard the "Craker Barrel donation" line on here the other day and thought it was funny.)


Thanks,
Chaz
