My friends old double got banged up last year when he got splattered by a buffalo. The rifle does have a bit of wear, but after he got run over the rifle doesnt reliably cock. Know I know this isn't a high end H&H, but I think it still would have some value if repaired. It looks to me like grooves that the cocking arm rides in and pulls against in the reciever have been worn/gouged when the rifle was forced open upon impact.

I am looking for someone that could maybe TIG them up and re-cut them???????

Any ideas?









You can see in the pictures the wear.....the areas circled in red are where the damage / wear is.

There is a restoration gunsmith in Alabama or Miss that repairs old firearms that could do this.
There is also a guy that repairs the Browning over and under salt guns by TIG welding. He has videos on youtube.

The cocking cams do not appear to be damaged; those are the extensions below the buggered up places. Look at the forearm hanger; that is most likely the damaged area. You might not need as much repair as you think. The damaged areas in the photo do not do the cocking if this is the action design I think it is. Coil mainsprings through the body.
