Thanks for the help

Just in case you don't know, wd40 will penetrate the primers and make them not detonate or give very poor performance.

Got brake cleaners let's hope this does it.

Maybe just me, but the photo of the left side on the trigger group, that bar looks newer than the rest of the gun. Is it possible it was replaced and not installed correctly ? Good luck, it's fun to get an old gun running.

Brake cleaner and/or PB Blaster. Not WD40

I KNEW a good gunsmith years ago that used brake parts cleaner. PB Blaster would certainly get it done but would be more of a mess.

I'll try some brake cleaner or hops. Leave it in for a few hours. Will it take off the finish?

Brake parts cleaner won't hurt the finish. Carb and fuel injector cleaner WILL strip finishes. I know this because the gunsmith I mentioned earlier told a customer to use brake parts cleaner but the guy got confused and bought carb cleaner. I saw the end results which was a pissed off customer standing at the gun shop showing us a completely stripped bare steel Ruger P85. It was VERY hard not to fall in the floor laughing.

Well it's gonna be nothing but guessing at it from where we all are.My first best suggestion would be for you to take to a Meet and Greet where several members plan to attend.I think there's one coming up on the 10th around the north Atlanta area.If you can make it there I'm pretty sure one of the many old grey haired Crackers hanging around there can help you figure it out.

Okay sorry I was wrong on the date. It was set for today from what I see. If you can't make it then just look for the next one coming up .

Forgot about that

Well it seems like the shells will not stay in the tube which is causing it to jam. Any idea on how to fix it?
