Now the rest of the story...

I bought this rifle a year ago from a “Pard”. He made no representation that the guns previous owner had worked on it. I put about 30 rounds through it and started getting light primer hits. Took it apart to clean it and noticed the tweeking on the springs. I asked the previous owner about the work on it. He said the original owner worked on it but it worked fine. Hmmm...

I ordered new hammer spring, firing pin, firing pin spring, sear spring and maybe a trigger spring. Parts came in over a few months time. 

I replaced the springs and test fired using primed cases. First 10 no problem. Second 10 there was 2 light hits that detonated on the second hit. 

Ground acouple thousands off the end of the firing pin spring. Test fired. As long as I go to half cock chamber a round the rifles fires. Forget to go to half cock and load I get a light hit. 

 

The last time I had it at the range it was raining. Shooting from under cover. I wiped the rifle down and put in the case. Apparently the inside of the case was wet at the muzzle end. So it developed a few surface rust spots on the last 8 inches of the barrel. I stripped it, polished it  and cold blued it. You can see some pitting if you look close. 

How does it shoot? I had it shooting 1.5 inch groups @ 100 yards from a Cauldwell Lead Sled. 

 

The rifle is priced at $700 shipped to your FFL. The rear sight is removed for shipping.

I would consider it sorta fixed. The rifle should work consistently when you open the lever to eject the spent case.
