Glad the mystery is solved! I was gonna be losing sleep over this.What does the rest of the gun look like?Ride on,J~
ok, just use the shorter stem... thanks Terry Still waiting for my parts from JG, should be this week.I'm glad my time and $ is going to a worthy rifle and thanks for all the guidance. I was unsure when started the project (wasting time/$), but more I read about how accurate & cool the old Dans are, I'm getting excited to get her shooting again to control varmints. I got tired of these cheap modern chinese guns, that only throw bb's out in any direction but on target...
From the pic ya can see where someone tried to brazen the action fastener nut (it was missing too, they used some all-thread to bind everything all together). Maybe they lost the screw, idk.
