Today - using a superb 'step-by-step' guide posted on the USA 'Curio&Relic' Forum - disassembled, cleaned and reassembled the bolt.
I'd been a little disappointed by the trigger action and a rather gummy-sounding release. No wonder - the whole 'works' was choked up with 60-year-old grease which had solidified. Very satisfying to clean all the parts, lightly grease and oil, reassemble - and now the rifle cocks crisply and the firing-pin releases with a very
-sounding 'crack'.
Sorry to drone on - but I've had real fun with this addition to my collection.... [img]graemlins/rk.gif[/img]
