[TARNATION !!!]

This is the point where I’m starting to feel good. All cleaned of crud and rust and lightly lubed. It would be nice to get here with no issues but so far that has yet to happen. Almost did with this one but for the last step of disassembly. The gun had been played with before and when the cocking crank pin was reinserted it got bent. That pin does not need substantial force to put in place but I think it got smacked with the punch on an angle. The crank turned on the pin okay but I could not get the pin out. Never encountered that before. Ultimately drilled it out and replaced with a spare. Reassembly tomorrow. Cheers Jack
