I bought and assembled a Pedersoli Indian trade .62. Cal. Smoothbore 2 winters ago. Ive hunted with it quite a bit but the pan/frizen never seals, in fact it has a major gap all the way around.
After looking it over I’ve come to the conclusion that the bolt hole alignment is the issue. If I remove the frizzen mounting bolt I can get a near perfect fit But then the bolt hole is off by about 1/3 size of the hole.
Is their someone that y’all can recommend that I can send my lock to properly fit a new frizen?
Thanks in advance for your input.
