Pulled my 1886 out of the safe the other day and discovered the lever won't actuate/open the action. I've never had it appart so am looking for suggestions from anyone who has also experienced this problem, before I begin the task. Up till now it has been a flawlessly working rifle in great condition. - EB


You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass

WTF "worked out" ? Did he put it back in the safe ?

!. remove all wood
2. soak the action from all directions in Kroil.
3. wrap in shrink wrap
4. store it a week in warm place

It will work.

5. Buy one or more "Golden Rods" for your safe.
