The gun was well used, and it showed. It had some issues, but seemed to function okay. The issues were not safety related, but more toward smooth function. The cartridge lock wasn't reliable. Shells pushed into the magazine would slide back against the lifter. The thumb safety on top of the receiver functioned, but was very easy to move ON/OFF. He had shot it with the seller when he bought it so he knew it still functioned, so we put some clay pigeons on the berm and shot those. He loved shooting the clay pigeons laying vertically on the slope of the berm.
After the shooting was completed for the day, I wrote down some info on the shotgun and looked up a Parts Diagram on Numrich. I ordered the three parts I needed to replaced the Cartridge Lock components. He was coming over this past week to install some additional cameras on my CCTV system, (He works for ADT Alarms,) so I told him to bring the shotgun. In our discussion of the gun he said he was thinking seriously of replacing it with a new one. He would make me a very good price if I wanted to add it to the safe. I told him I'd take it. I ordered the four pieces to replace the worn safety.
It will become the barn varmint gun for Miss T. Those parts should be in by the middle of the week. Anyone have an owners Manual for the Model 67, or a repair section in a book they can send me a copy of? I'm sure I can figure it out, but an actual repair manual or owners manual would be nice. I found a couple disassembly/reassembly videos, but they don't show the detailed breakdown of the cartridge lock or the safety.
Of course I'll perform a functional check prior to shooting the gun, and shoot it for a live fire check before putting it in the barn for Miss T.
