I have had good results with gorilla glue on cracked stocks. so long as you can get the glue down into the crack a good ways. Then just clamp it solid and let the glue cure.

JLA.. got ya! I almost mis-read your post.. oops.. I dont have stripped metal.. thanks be to the makers.. just the wood.. it kinda holds the screws.. I assume a hard wood dowel would be best..

I believe that series of doubles cocked when you levered the barrel latch open. Which is why that lever is so much larger than a normal one.

Either or. I use the cheap dowels you buy at walmart, toothpicks, shishkebob sticks and corn skewers. they all work great and the glue makes the hole less likely to strip out again.

Spudz, your correct... and it looks like the underside, at rear of the barrel has a 3/8 inch dia. pin that will pivot that "Y" shaped "thingie" as the barrel pivots breach up or muzzle down.. ketchup/catsup.. And it looks like there isn't a provision for the "cocking hook" on this particular sub model. Also there is also a spent shell push rod that is suppose to push back as the barrels tilt.. but I think a little something is missing at the rear of the fore grip frame that pushes the "extractor" Need to order that!
And JLA.. I think that lever is so massive as to over come the gigantic spring that returns the lever to the "fort Knox" locked position... Holly cow thats a tight spring!
Again, thanks!

O.K. guys....
The "clean up" is done... cleaned the barrels, rust blued..grey.. what ever.. I even did the internals... I'm holding off on the stock... its suppose to be a "wall trophy". I know the recoil pad is NOT original... more on that later

So. I took it to the range today, to function test it... lets just say.. I'm glad that recoil pad was there... both tubes fired together. Felt like a .243 break action actually.

Any way... When the SXS is empty, locked, and cocked.. it takes about 7 pounds to pull each trigger... and they will release one at a time... regardless of which is pulled first. Now, Why did I get both tubes to fire at once?

The only thing I can think of (besides this being old) is that the spring that holds the sears in the "engaged" position is slipping out of the groove in the tang that keeps tension on the spring... the stock helps keep the spring in this groove. And the stock is gapped near that area on the tang.

Whats your thoughts?
Shawn
