just have the hinge pin replaced by one the original diameter plus twice the thickness of shim that tightened it. This is a proper fix, as the problem lies in the wear of the pin, and streaching of the action. Very little streaching happens, but the opening and closing on an unlubed pin wears it fast. Especially if it is used in a dusty enviroment, like a trap range in the summer. The powdered clays enter the action, and reek havok on the hardend pins. Trust me, it happens, as I worked on a range for a while, and cleaned the black stuff from the club guns once a week.It was not burned powder.

Pondoro Taylor,Elmer Keith,Karamojo Bell,and Jeff Cooper knew what they were talking about.
