Thread: Help with single shot Rossi

Shaped up the lever with a fine cutting wheel and a quality small burr in a dremel(not the shit that comes with a dremel which is only marginally better than the shit that comes with a dremel copy)
When I was getting close I lined up by eye with the holes on the outside of the action.

I also opened the notch in the locking piece to allow a beefier tab(half a mm)
When getting close I dropped pins in on the outside of action to check operation and went to wet and dry round a small file.


Better than new.


Once I actually thought about how it had to go together ( I just knocked it apart) what Muzza had said about pins became obvious and I cut the shank off a new 5mm drill bit as a "slave pin".......... Necessary to assemble parts under spring tension before putting into action.
locking piece and firing pin thingie assembled on dill bit butt.


The whole action went together a piece of piss, trigger and associated springs,levers etc took a couple of goes till i worked out to tape the trigger in the fired position. then all good

Fiddled with a bit making sure it all worked closed it firmly on a sub and fired it into a block of wood

Further testing with sub and full power ammo will have to wait. ( full power ammo in shop after hours probably not a good idea! )
