Home Forums Lever Action Central Big Bore Levers 1895 Lever Retention Plunger

If you felt that the spring loaded plunger on your 1895 GBL that retained the lever in the closed position needed to be a little more positive, how would you adjust that? I have already installed a new plunger and spring. The lever needs to be retained better in the closed position, I feel like it wants to pop open too easily.

did you buy rifle new or used ?

used someone may have changed lever spring to a lighter one........

If so........all you need to do is put an OEM spring back in........

while you have it apart......buff & clean the plunger.......

you'll need a die decapping pin to remove lever pin.......small bugger.......

Actually, I'm exactly half way towards having it fixed, I have a full length magazine 1895 GBL on the way from Grice for $449, then I'll sell this one. Done. (I wanted the full length tube anyway...)
