Thanks folks. Interesting old gun for sure. Regarding tightening it up, just for fun I took one of those metallic address label's you get when you give to a charity (my wife gives to lots of them) and cleaned the hook with alcohol and then peeled and stuck the label (cut to the hook size) to the hook. Goodness gracious, that little bit (maybe .008 in thickness) tightened the old girl up like a vise. Even the forearm which was a tad loose before is now tight against the action and barrels. Would by chance that work well enough to give her a go?
