Stock Removal

[Matthew Nonnenmann]

Hi, all.

I disassembled my DHE 12 bore. I really enjoyed the experience given all the expert guidance posted. Everything has gone well, with the exception of the reassembly. I seem to be struggling a bit when it comes to aligning all the parts to get the the sear pin back into the receiver. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Matt

Matt, I use a pin smaller in diameter from the left side to get the sears close. Then insert the sear pin from the right. This makes it a whole lot easier.

Well, for one thing you have to compress the sear springs with your thumb to get the hole for the sear pin to align. Compress the first one, get the pin through it, and then through the center section of the receiver, then compress the second one and get the pin through it and the second side of the receiver. It takes a bit of fumbling, but with a little practice you can feel your way through it without having to use a smaller pin, etc (although they can be helpful if you are having difficulty).

Hi, all.

Well. I put the stock back on and the hammers did not cock on the gun when I opened the breech. When I disassembled the gun again, the safety lever mechanism seemed to come apart. I tried to line up the safety lever with the mechanism during assembly. Did all the parts seem to go together correctly. Did I miss something fellas?

Cheers,

Matt
