Sticky lifter

[David Hamilton]

I have an 1875 10 ga that suffers from the same problem. I surmised that this problem is the result of wear of the lifter. I don't know what to do about it but I simply operate the lifter a few times before shooting and things seem to be ok for a while. I have wondered if there was a missing part at the top of the lifter as I have seen a parts illustration of a later model that had a "sleeve" at the top that I did not see in my gun. This may be a problem that Austin could help us with? David

I would think that Austin would have the solution. Maybe he will chime in here.
