Hey y’all,
I just picked up a Stevens model 940, and there is a little play in the locking bolt lever to the point where if I don’t consciously check the lever then there’s a chance the recoil will cause the gun to open up immediately following the shot. Not ideal.
I’m planning to replace the locking bolt spring to see if that fixes it, but I’ve never gotten into one of these old Stevens before. Any advice on disassembly/reassembly would be much appreciated.
If there is a thread for this already started somewhere else, please point me in that direction.
Thanks
