Nice work. Man that bolt assembly was gunky. Looks great after you got it cleaned up. Glad you posted the before pics to really appreciate the amount of crap fouling up the works. Barn pests beware…

Well, I'll give it another go. I was not successful. The cartridge lock bar was moving freely, but the tip is too worn to lock the shells in place. I have contacted Brownells, and USA gunsmithing via email to see if they have to tool I'll need to free the Nut/Bushing Combo inside the receiver to replace the bar with the new one I had ordered. I was unable to remove it with the tools I had on hand. Now, I'll have to see what I can do, short of driving to OKC and finding a gunsmith to free it up.

The special tool must be some type of spanner wrench. My snap ring pliers won't fit in the area and the tips are too big anyway. Both websites say replies take two business days, and with this being Saturday, I figure mid week, next week. No rush, it's going to be a barn gun. I'll eventually get there if I have to attempt making the wrench in the shop.

I didn't pay that much for the gun, so it's a project piece. Hopefully, I'll get it going for Miss T. I enjoy the challenge. Neither of the issues were Safety issues, but I won't put it in the barn if it's not 100% functional. Cosmetics aren't an issue.
