How dumb is this or what’s going on here? The cocking lever has a little spring tension down. So I’m having to hold It up with a rubber band and once the cocking plunger is below it.... I simply remove the rubber band and it functions 100%. Triggers work, it cocks it, safety works.... opens nice...

Update. I’m in the show. Nothing I could do that would put the cocking plunger under the cocking arm. So I put a rubber band under the arm forcing it to stay up as I assembled the gun. Once assembled I cut the rubber band. Now it all works perfectly. I guess if you have to remove the barrel and...

I suspect this might be the problem. This little screw is bent. I don’t know how tight it’s supposed to be. Some knob stripped the wood and came through the wood from the outside. Only one screw comes through the stock in pics. This is suspect. I think I see the problem. The handguard piece...

The ejector and that other spring loaded pin both move freely. The spring is in there and seems to move and reset with the spring tension.

The extractor is very free and moves a lot. So I think that’s ok. What I don’t know about is why there is a countersunk screw on the iron piece in the handguard. I’ll upload pics. Thanks.

It has extractors. I will say this. After messing with it. The hammers operate with the triggers and the safety works as it should. The forearm snaps into place nice. It just won’t open with the guard snapped in place. Everything was oily and all. It’s just as if the pin with the spring is bound...

I took the barrels off and the stock off. I manually cocked the hammers and the safety and hammers drop as normal. Something about putting the forestock on makes it where it opens a few thousands but it’s locked shut. Wonder what’s going on at the hinge point ?

I just purchased a Stevens 5100 shotgun from a local gun store. It’s in beautiful shape, but the triggers will not fire either firing pin. The gun locks up very nicely and the wood is in very nice shape. I bought it basically as a nice parts gun. I messed with the safety on and off , But did not...

Thanks guys.

This is not a classified ad. So please don't treat it as such. However ... I've got a couple of WW1 collectibles. I really need to add a correct M97 trench gun to the list. I've googled my brains out. I've been watching gunbroker for months. Can one of your shotgun collectors point me towards a...

I've seen those on a forum.

Were any AR5 bolt actions sold to the public?

Yeah good copy. So much bad information out there. Thanks for clearing it up guys.

I guess I really should have asked this... " did the AR7" actually make it to a service person or vehicle. Sounds like the AR7 did not! Therefor couldn't have been roll marked US... Thanks guys!!!
