Hello all,
In the previous topic "I'm about done" there is talk of "take your barrel pins out and make sure the lugs are slotted"...
A bit further one says: "... relieving them parallel with the barrel"...
I do not understand this, and would like to know more about it - and what the purpouse is...
I went to inspect the barrel of my Pedersole Frontier. The barrel is fixed to the stock with screws that go through the underside of the stock into a dovetailed piece underneath the barrel. These screws also fasten the small pipes that hold the ramrod in place.
While inspecting the barrel I found that the middle dovetail under the barrel is loose. I can easely wiggle it a mm or two ... Should I faten the dovetailed piece with hammer and punch or leave it loose? I have no idea if this matters at all?
