Here is the cocking crank and its extra pivoting part.

Very interesting Mark. Learn something new everyday. Can you post a picture of it installed so that we may see how it works?

More photos. The case colors have certainly faded on the exterior. The trigger plate suffered the most from 'patina', which, when carefully scraped off, left it as you see in the last photo. Mechanically, the gun is in great condition. It suffered some neglect over the years, especially the bores.

Here you go, Dave. If you look at about 7 o'clock in relation to the top lever hole, you can see the screw holding the little spacer block in place.

I carefully removed the safety components from the stock. The little pushrod was quite rusty. I used a drill bit that was .001" larger than the pushrod and slowly, with my fingers, turned the bit and cleaned out the hole in the wood. I polished the pushrod and now it moves freely in the stock. Is there anything I should put on the pushrod to lubricate and prevent siezure, or should I leave it clean and dry? The stock is in very nice condition. A handful of Q-Tips with 91% isopropyl alcohol removed all the oil residue. Thankfully, this gun was never deluged with oil. I cleaned the head of the stock down to bare wood, with ease! The right sear was bearing against the stock, so I carefully removed a small quantity of wood to allow for the sear to move freely and the stock to move forward against the receiver, like it should be.

I'll bet if you use a cotton swab with some linseed oil and just brush the inside of the push rod hole you will have sufficient protection for the future. As to the patina, I've been using a diluted molasses sit-in-it-for-awhile bath to remove light rust and discoloration on various tools, devices and rube goldberg thingies that get old looking through no fault of mine.

That sounds like an interesting concoction, John! I have acquired some very old loading tools made by S&W and UMC that have some rust on them. I am able to remove all the crud that is removable, but am left with stained steel.

The 6 frame gun is now reassembled and it functions properly, even the automatic safety! A .001" stainless shim on the hook reduced the barrel/breech gap and brought her back on-face. My next task is loading some ammunition for testing. Even for the occasional 'nostalgia hunt' I am going to be eating lots o' Wheaties!
