Newbie help: takedown lever

Pete Ebbink · 08-13-2003, 10:43 AM

Raymond,

Since this is a shooter, here is what I have done on some of mine :

1. Do not try to bend the lever...it might break.

Rather :

2. Use a very fine wet-stone and some oil and rub it along the lever's back side that is flat and sits against the side plate. Take a little of metal away at a time and see when there is enough clearance to operate the lever easily. Stop when this happens...

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
