I polished the ends of the hammer spring pins and the pockets they fit in to smooth everything out.
Polished the sears and the hammers to reduce the trigger pull and was able to get it down to 8-9 lbs so the kids can pull the trigger. You can see where the butt stock is contacting the action only above the hole where the long stock mounting screw goes in. It is why the stock was so misaligned.
This gun has extractors and they just needed a little cleanup.
The two cocking pins are what gets pushed when you brake the barrel, but one was bent and did not move freely so I removed it and turned it down a little, making it much easier to cock.
I replaced the upper firing pin and keeper (not shown). I was able to find all the parts needed from Numrich Gun Parts Corp. The only part I really needed was the upper firing pin, but just in case I picked up a grip cap and screw, two new hammer springs, and two firing pin springs. A grand total of $35.00. I went back to Frontierman Sports and discussed my displeasure with being told the gun was functional but was not. They wanted to make good by ordering the part, but I had done that so they gave me two boxes of 12 gauge shells which made me very happy.
