Oh, Pshaw,.....
Chesterpully and I had a good look at the action and it's guts, T.
The original 12-32 breech block pivot pin / screw is frapped, as is the threaded hole in the frame that receives it. If the ears on the block are bored / reamed to .251 to .252" (they're damned near worn that big already), the left side of the frame can be bored to same, and the wallowed out right hand side tapped to 1/4-28. A common Allen bolt (modified / slotted) can than become the new pin / screw.
The Link, and it's pins will be requiring some TLC, as well.
Essentially this is a GREAT piece of raw material, compared to some I've woken up.

I like the new avatar Terry, very...ummm...threatening. Cross'- thanks for the lesson in "machining concepts applied to woodwork" and setup on the fly. Makes me feel silly for having bought a router bit or two. I still think we should've test fired it with one of those old barrel stubs and a bicycle tube to power the hammer.

That setup was a lot stouter than it appeared, once everything was tightened down. Regardless, note that multiple LIGHT cuts brought the job home. That would not have been a very Skookum place to have any sorta' "Crash". Thank you for the good company, and dialogue.

I remember when Cross did this it was a cool project, some real talent.
Pretty neat the pictures are still there. I miss the old man, had some good conversations with him.

Ol' Cross had a way with phrases. A true old schooler..
The pictures won't focus on my pad for some reason.

My favorite shooter is a Favorite Cross “Woke” up shortly after T’s.
I think we got a bit cross once or twice on the phone. He could be a bit curmudgeonly.
I threatened to get on a plane, wish I had. Would of been nice to shake his hand and spend a few.
Godspeed to ya, Greg.
