Uscra112,
Thank you for more usefulk hints on fitting up a Favorite or model 44 action!
I had not previously considered making the BB pivot hole Oval in order to allow the BB to be moved back into contact with the receiver shoulders.
As to the 'hammer lug', was that ever done for the Favorite action?
I thought it was only done on some later model 44 types.
Best Regards,
Chev. William
