I think I've broken something in my sliding safety mechanism. A few days ago just from curiosity, with the action OPEN I slid my safety forward and rearward a couple of times. It was NOT an automatic safety, {it had been, but I had JJ make it NON- automatic when he did the case colors and the other work.} Well now it's quite difficult to slide into the FIRE position and when sliding rearward to the SAFE position there are two distinct clicks that are heard, the first about half way through the distance that it comes back altogether, and then at the most rearward position. What the heck did I break? uggghhh...  Jack OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.} | ||

Is this the Charles Osborne you are talking about or another one ? Who made the gun ? Webley, Leonard ?????? Any ideas ? | |||

I believe Jack's rifle is a Leonard made rifle. JPK  Free 500grains | |||

Your 'bull hunching' probably broke it!  | |||

Dave you kill me! Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

It's a CHARLES OSBORNE extractor rifle. I feel dopey now, I thought that meant Charles Osborne made it as opposed to Webley or Leonard or anybody else.  To: Use Enough Gun What's 'BULL HUNCHING'? *When you guys who own old Brit rifles slide your safeties CAN YOU SLIDE THEM IN EITHER DIRECTION OR IN BOTH DIRECTIONS IN COMPLETE SILENCE?

From MEMORY, NO, but I don't often use the Safety as all mine have been made non auto and I just don't use it much when hunting. | |||

500N, While hunting are you walking around with the action OPEN and rounds in the chambers with the safety in the FIRE position? Then when you decide it's time to fire you close the action, shoulder the rifle and let fly? Jack OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.} | |||

BigFiveJack: "Bull Hunching' is a western phrase for forcing something to the point where you finally break it! Kind of like "Monkey Dinking" (fooling) with something when you ought to be leaving it alone! No offense meant, as I am sure you feel terrible about "screwing it up" (modern phrase) already! | |||
