Top lever trip slipping. Won't hold lever to right.

Stripped and cleaned action with no issues. All parts function correctly (fires, safety works, gun cocks, etc.) except the lever won't stay to the right on opening. The trip spring is installed, trigger plate screw is snug, and the trip flats are facing rear and on the right. When the lever is opene...

Lacquer for case colors

I plan on using a spray lacquer to protect case colors on an english gun. I think I've settled on the Mohawk brand for brass instruments. The product is water clear and non yellowing. I just am not sure whether I should go with matte, satin, or gloss. I believe gloss may be to much sheen.

How to get to the Member's Only Forum

I recently became a member early this week and I can't figure out how to get to the member's only section. I have a card look up on a B Grade that I'd like to do. Is the member's only section supposed to show up on the index when I log in?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Frank, absolutely brilliant! Your method worked better than the other suggested method. Much easier. Thanks again.

Re: Help removing hammers

Wow, thanks again I really appreciate the help. I'm taking it slow as I normally do. I've got experience with Ithaca NID, Flues, LC Smith, and A&D actions. The Fox is very similar to the NID. Ithaca obviously saw what really works and copied much.

Re: Help removing hammers

Thanks Frank. When the hammers are moved off the hammer block the firing pins are out of the frame holes, I would still use a 1/16" punch to move the hammers? I dripped kroil on all bearing surface hoping to free up.

Re: Help removing hammers

3rd Pic One arrow is pointing to what I believe to be the hammer spring plunger and the other arrow is what I'm calling the cocking rod? Is this rod supposed to come off the plunger and the plunger comes out with the hammer spring?

Help removing hammers

The pictures below are to big to put in one post, sorry for the size. I used instructions posted on this forum to get this far, but I must be missing something or something is stuck? I removed to hammer pin and tapped both hammers off the frame hammer block and the hammers have to come out. I unders...
