Well, I've wanted to try one for years on one of my 1895G's so I bought a WWG's large loop lever. I bought the three parts that go in the lever, the spring, the pin, and the lock so I could just change out the complete lever and keep the original as backup - those parts went in no problem.
Put in on the gun and OUCH! This thing binds like crazy. Have tried to figure out where it is binding at, the lever bolt is not too tight, but somewhere inside it just binds like all git out. I knew they had to be fit before I bought it but have found precious little information on exactly HOW to fit it, even in the library of gunsmithing books I've got.
Before I go nuts with a dremel and ruin a nice lever -- and yes I've looked for wear spots on it, none really to be found except where the end of it works the bolt, I thought I might ask if any of you have done this before and exactly where I should look/grind/polish before I start in on it.
Many Thanks,
Art
