Deputy Dewey ,SASS #70347 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hi just recently bought a noinco 1887 for Cas here in the UK, voided the warranty by cutting the barrel and stock only for it to develop a problem. The follower follows a shell out of the mag tube into the receiver enough to stop the lifter from rising, lever from completing its forward motion. Heres a photo of the problem http://i445.photobucket.com/albums/qq174/somtec/midland/DSCF5499.jpg http://i445.photobucket.com/albums/qq174/somtec/midland/DSCF5497.jpg Any help would be appreciated Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Coles SASS 1188 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I had a different problem with my follower (it was to small, tilted and bound in the magazine tube) and I turned a new one on the lathe. I measured the angle on the original one and it was not consistent. I put a 45 degree angle on the front of the one I made and it worked like a champ. If you have access to a lathe (which you might if you cut the barrel) you could try cutting a 45 on the old one (my original was pretty thick at the nose) or make an entirely new one. Very simple jobs on a lathe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 The follower has "ribs" that stop it at the rec'r. There were a couple of different followers made for the China '87s. Whats the prefix of your guns serial number. Cheers, LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Dewey ,SASS #70347 Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Howdy again. Just put the mag back together after stripping to take a photo of the follower, racked it couple dozen times no probs then out pops the follower again. So i push it back in and rotate it slightly as i did so, rack it again for a bit then jam, repeat last step push back in and rotate works ok then jam. Seems to me like the follower works in one position but if it rotates slightly then jam. Makes me think the follower isnt quite round? looks like it was stamped as opposed to machined. Dont know if this info is important or not. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Dewey ,SASS #70347 Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Call "Cap" LG Howdy Just had an email back from Coyote Cap, he recognised the problem as a wrong follower and is on the case. What a gentleman, brilliant service and not even one of his guns. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
