Reassembly
Postullio:
OK, more progress and yet another setback. The hammer now moves which is good but it's definitely not right. I feel like the metal piece sticking up is somehow out of place. I'll send pics. Also the grips I ordered don't have the right depth for the screws but that's an easy fix.
jcorl:
What grips did you order???

Warbird:
The piece sticking up is the Guide Lever and you're right, it should be laying down flat inside the Sear. I have no idea why it is out of place unless someone removed the Sear assembly and reinstalled it incorrectly. For now, try pushing it down into place.
Postullio:
jcorl: i ordered royalwood grips. I don't even think it's real wood. I'm a little upset, but that's what i get for not reading the description better. They don't fit flush to the frame in places and the whole for the screw isn't shallow enough for the screw to reach the frame. I'm gonna go back online and look for something better. If you know of a place that has good ones, please let me know. I don't want to order another bad set.
Warbird: I got it finally and as you requested, I oiled it up a little. Once i get new grips I'm going to give it a good once over and really clean it, but not so much to ruin the patina. I can't thank you enough, and I'm sure the 90 year old vet it gonna be pretty psyched about it also. I'll send a pic when I get the new grips and fire it. Hopefully it doesn't blow up in my hand.
jcorl:
Congratulations on getting it together. I also thought those grips you described were wood. I appreciate you posting the information. There is one manufacture out there that I have not purchased from. N. C. Ordinance, Inc. sells walnut reproduction grips. They look good, but pricey at $120.
