I ordered a new tumbler, fly, and sear for my CVA Hawken.. I received them really fast. The only problem, the fly did not work. Pull the trigger, dropped right in to the halfcocked position. I think...

I switched to simple green instead of dawn.. When I used dawn, my brass started coming out like it was coated with a thin coat of black rubber.. Simple green doesnt do that. I have a Lortone tumbler,...
