Re: Special Firearm

Hey Rifleman, Everything turned out okay with the Fraser. The confusion was more of a misunderstanding on what occurred and when it occurred. I was able to confirm that there was some work done on the rifle by a competent gunsmith. That explained to me why some of the internal parts were replaced wi...

Re: Loose carrier pins

These pins are meant to be loose. They cannot come out once the bolt is inplace. I would suggest that you remove the blue loctite and polish the pins as you first found them. Under no circumstances should you use JB Weld to hold these pins in place!!!

Good Luck.

You're right Jack, the tool on the 1900 section of the home page is the tool I saw some time ago and was referring to in my earlier post.

Re: Sling swivels?

The swivel is in the correct place if it is on the barrel jacket. That is why the hole was placed in that position. The swivel was never intended to be in the wood on the forearm on the 81’s.

I believe that the round knob will not work on your rifle. The round knob requires a curved tang and your rifle has a straight tang.
