Another NH!

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?

[Roundsworth]

I most certainly will, Dave.

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.

Thank You Mark!

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.
