Thanks, the price will probably allow for a repair as long as any needed parts can be made. Just how difficult is it to take the Action apart?
Not difficult at all if you follow all the steps and have good fitting tools, a padded vise, etc. Darne guru Ted Schefelbein tutored me on the process.
I agree, it might just need to be cleaned. Usually if the coil springs are broken, they’ll still function. Might just be a case of soaking the breech block in some diesel or solvent. That auto parts solvent in a bucket like “Chem-dip” would probably get it clean enough. I’d try that first.
You don’t have to disassemble the breech block for that and it’s pretty much what the factory recommended.
