If your gun is tight and on face I would suspect problems with the yoke ( the connector between the lever and the rotary bolt). I had one that the pin was bent, worth a check.

Getting back to the Fox, is it the general consensus that though the Fox lockup is a good design once it wears out to the point of lever left of center, it’s basically unfixable?

The large cocking hook on the Lefever was in no way implied to mean it had anything at all to do with the ability to tighten the action. It was mentioned in regard to the statement by Fox which strongly implied the gun with the fewest parts was alway

The Fox design is subject to being striker bound, the firing pins don’t move back with the hammers when you are attempting to open the gun. It is worse after the gun is fired, usually. If the gun is in this condition, usually a result of use and wear

The serial number on this gun is 62013. I don’t are about being underwater as I’ll never sell it, I’m 70 years old but still in good shape (knock wood), I’ll hunt it as long as I’m able then let my estate sell it after I die. As long as it’s safe to

Not a great day nor a great photo, but we didn't get skunked. Gus also had a rock solid point on a turkey. Yesterday, he got fed up with my poor shooting and handed me a rooster at the ned of the day, so we got one, but it wasn't shot (at least n

Yes, I built it. it will carry spotting scope on tripod, two rifles (gotta have a back up), and folding chair. I see lots of rerigged strollers on the firing line at matches. I also see some purpose-made commercial strollers as well. Several co

Very nice BrentD....works with rifles...did you build it? Looks like you could add a cot..and maybe a Haibachi cooking grill, a cooler, a beer keg..... But...I only shoot once a week...maybe twice sometimes...and I sort of like that baby stroller -

Argo44, Since you are a muzzleloader as well as a cartridge guy, you might like a cart like this. It has a tray up high where you can put reloading/cleaning supplies, score card, etc. I use this for long range muzzleloading and Creedmoor BPTR. R

Stan, I could modify my $10 yard sale jogging baby stroller in two ways. -- Put a board or metal plank across the "step" in front of the cart..and fix it so butts could be supported there, while using only the ATV gun supports on the upp

Here's my idea for a spring loaded wad/shot-overcard dispenser. Remember the old gravity fed coin changers every bus driver used to have? Well, there are a lot of cheap spring loaded tubes now available to dispense coins. They could easily be mo

I have all of the mentioned guns in my collection. The rotary bolt guns, when they are worn out, would be a nightmare for the common man to tighten up. Happily, it doesn't happen very often. The Lefever is a wonderful gun, not to hard to tighten u

Since our quail numbers are so low in the Texas Panhandle this year my “go to” gun has been a cheap English 16 gauge hammer single shot weighing 4 1/2 pounds. Also have been using black powder to spice things up. The little gun does add a new dimensi

This approach came from the pen of noted vintage gun collector Keith Neal - beeswax and turpentine. Application requires that the barrels are warm. I have been using it for a number of years. I guessed at the proportions.
