Re: Safety too tight
Cleaning and oiling will correct the issue.

Re: Repairing a forend lug
The whole lug can always be pulled and replaced.

Re: Lefever DS
It is odd to see a DS with ejectors.
In regards to the condition of the gun, and to educate you in case you were unaware. The forend wood is not original. The frame has been blued. And the barrels appear to have been hot blued. Make sure the ribs are tight.

Re: Trigger wobble
I assume that you mean that the triggers move up just a tad when the trigger is taken off. And in reverse, they are pushed down a tad when the safety is put on. It all has to do with how closely fit the safety toggle is fitted to the trigger blades. Ideally, the triggers will not move at all. And if...

Re: Trouble with re-assembly
That forend is a mess. It is best to let that gun be someone else's problem.

Re: DIY Rust Blue?
The wire wheel would be a super fine stainless steel. It does not effect the surface, other than removing the built up oxidation.

Re: DIY Rust Blue?
I have not used that stuff. I have only exclusively used Mark Lees Express Blue and have found no reason to try anything different. I can do a set of barrels start to finish in 4-5 hours in any conditions. The water tank never cools down. And the results are great. Any high volume shop that does a l...

Re: Guild guns
That is an absolutely stunning gun! With a lot of special features not usually seen on German guns, from a styling and embellishment standpoint. The action is commonly seen on Colath guns. The wing nut safety is on when alighted with the rib, and off when perpendicular to it. When the safety is on, ...

Re: Not so technical question - butt pad screw plugs
wrap the plug in one layer or two of electrical tape. that will snug it up.
Edit, I did not see the above reply suggesting the same thing initially.

Re: rearmost, sear axle screw for 12 g Sterlingworth
The lock screws used on the fax guns are all the same regardless of position. There are 4 of them used on the gun.

Re: SF doubling on me
Is this a Double trigger gun? Or a Single Trigger?
On double trigger guns, apart from needing a cleaning, a common issue is a weak sear spring.

I know exactly who you are speaking of and believe me, you are not the only one in the same situation.

Re: Restoration
Who recommended that you re-case the gun? I am curious.
