Show Double Automatic John Val Val A. Browning Yours September september Browning 22, Enciosed is copy of cable sent to you today. When the trigger pulls are crisp, the weight of pull, even if Shagnthy above 5 lbs., is not too noticeable. When the disconnector rubs on the link as the trigger is being pulled however, the weight of the pull is accentuated and the entire feeling disagreeable. I thought it better to leave the sear spring as is without reducing the diameter of the wire, but be sure the notch in link is deep enough SO that the dissconnector never drags on it as trigger is being pulled. / Lengthening of carrier latch is better by far than adding two limit is not exceeded, stablizer spring to 36 mms. as you have done coils as I suggested so long as the elastic | BA In Harm Williams’ ‘gun the loading was very sluggish in the beginning, but after he had oiled and worked the gun by hand and by firing, it loosened up. However, once in awhile there would be a failure to feed, the cartridge catching on the lower edge of the chamber. I examined the gun and found that the carrier was being squeezed between right-hand receiver wall and the front of the trigger guard. I am afraid this fitting is going to be a rather close job, but my impression is that it is better to relieve the trigger guard at the front than to remove more material from the head of the rivet on the carrier which bears on the receiver. seventy more guns have been sent out here for adjusting from not hope to do these all myself, and it will still be costly Bruce to get back, but I have been doing some and have found St. Louis. I can if we wait for that in all cases so far where or there has been failure to eject with weak open after last shot with weak loads that when I put the floor and press quickly down see my shoulder on feel the friction cinch up tight at about 1-1/2 loads the the inches muzzle stock, failureto stay or a board on I can always back- sometimes less. In every case so far, instead of shortening the big recoil spring or cooking it in the oven, I have simply squirted a little Moly Lube powder on the inside of each bronze friction ring wrttecotting, and in each case the entire trouble has been eliminated. With real heavy loads the recoil seems just as comfortable. I suggested using this sometime ago, but you had some objection. I still can see none, and it is a pretty simple thing to do. |
