A gunsmith at Cabelas showed me there was too much slop between the reciever and barrels. IDK, I'm pretty resourceful, but I have too dang many projects and problems at this time to worry about that.....maybe someday.

A decent smith can remove that slop in most cases. I have had it done and turned a double into a shooter.[/QUOTE]

Nice dog . The' slop' is called' Of the face ' likely worn at the joint pin & lump bite . Needs a new' joint pin' as its called but often shim brass or even sellotape can cure it at a pinch . Cheers Rudyard
