John Barleycorn, SASS #76982 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Is the carrier the only part needed? Does it need fitting or timed, or do you just swap them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't guarantee it'll be the same in yours, though. Maybe ask out on the wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is to assist the bolt passing by the spring loaded pivot stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the instructions from the gunsmith who makes the carrier. Happy Trails at the Smith shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
