My temporary repair was a rubber band stretched from the trigger guard up to the top lever. Not very classy but it worked and saved a day of pheasant hunting. Just think how impressed all your SXS peers will be with your field repair abilities! LOL! Steve Approach life like you do a yellow light - RUN IT! (Gail T.)

Too bad you live in the land down blunder, mate, or I'd send you one, given your broken one for an example for dims. Good on you, Matey!! "The field is the touchstone of the man"..
