Blackhawk Bantry Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 I have an SKB100 with no action work done to it. When I open the gun, it has a hard time opening all the way, which makes it harder to chamber the rounds sometimes. It seems there's a bit of spring tension at the very end of the opening. Can I do something about this? If it is a spring that's causing the resistance, what is the function of that spring? Could it be lightened or possibly removed?

Leroy Luck Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Is it the cocking levers that are causing your issue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggus Deal #64218 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Yes. Send it to Doc Noper. I would consider him the current working SKB guy. There may be others but I only have experienced his work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is not directly related to the cocking action, because if I cock the gun, close it, then open it again with the hammers already cocked, it still does it. Also, I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the gun, it's just the way they're made. I'm pretty sure I've handled other new SKBs which behave the same way. It would just be great if I could find out what it is that causes it, so I could possibly fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer not to send the gun overseas. I'd like to first of all find out what's causing it so I could possibly fix it myself, or at least know exactly what to tell my local gunsmith if I were to hand it in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Spade Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 You might give one of the SKB gun smith's a call, or have your gunsmith call them and being you are in another country they might be willing to explain what they do to them over the phone. Fast Eddie is who does my SKB work. He might get a little expensive on an overseas phone call though, LOL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
