do you have a properly fitted set of hollow ground screwdrivers?

and are you familiar with the inner workings?

Thanks Robert; I do know Bill he has one of mine now and I was there this past week. He is somewhat behind and I want to use this one next week. I will talk to him before I proceed. Gerald

I do have drivers and have taken a few stocks off and replaced them without screw damage but that is as far as I have been. Thanks. Gerald

First a good cleaning. The look at the sear and hammer notches, they could be worn. On the left side if in fact your doubling is thwn pulling right first. Sear spring can be a culprit too.

Gerald , your idea about carb cleaner will likely be sufficient. If that doesn’t cure it, you likely have worn sears which require filing. I’d suggest a good trigger gunsmith do that. I had to have sears recut once.

Waiting on the evening flights.

I would recommend a disassembly and cleaning.

However, after the wood is removed, choke spray a d blowing it out will not hurt the mechanism at all... that said, doing so may dislodge some crud but allow it to lodge somewhere else.

How about wd40 residue over time? Gerald

do not use WD40, There are much better lubricants like Break Free or Clenzoil.

Dean Romig · 09-04-2018, 12:43 PM

And Ballistol.

I spent the morning with Kirk Marrington a few weeks ago, leaving him with and "armful" of various tasks on various guns.

I asked him what his opinion was for gun lubricant, and gun grease. He pointed to a one gallon can of WD 40, and a grimy plastic squirt bottle filled with same, and an ANCIENT glass jar of Vaseline, that was about half full.. He said "there you are mate!"
