I sent one to Mr. Merrington to look at (same issue , for end pulled it tight) had him put a new roll joint and back on face to finish the restoration and ice the cake.. Figured it this way, she is good for another 100 yrs.. Opinions are just that, but the gun seems to be is beautiful shape, finish her up...

With the fore end on I slipped a piece of paper between the breech end and the frame face and closed the action. Paper tight would not slide out.
With the fore end off, I slipped a piece of paper between the breech end and the frame face and closed the action. Paper tight, would not slide out. With he fore end off, I could feel some side to side play between the breech face and frame face. No play up or down, just slight play on side to side basis. Does that sound like enough play to send out? Or just live with it for time being? |

Line your barrel hook with a piece of common aluminum foil and close the action on a piece of tissue paper. If the paper doesn't pull out shoot the gun and enjoy it.

Thanks Bruce.
Steve. I lined the barrel hook with foil as you suggested and closed the gun. No play in action whatsoever but fore end latch would not close (Dean you were correct that any fix to the barrel hook would require re fitting of the fore end mechanism). Since the play is not severe, I'll follow Bruce Day's advice and live with it for now. Thanks to all and Happy New Year |
