One of my friends sent out a family heirloom Iver Johnson Hercules Grade SXS to have some rust removed and have the action lubricated. Unfortunately, he sent it to a modern gun pawn shop type smith, who apparently wasnt very familiar with old box lock doubles. When he got the gun back, most of the rust was still there, and the top lever was about 1/8th inch proud of the frame, and the top lever had to be manually returned to center upon closing the breech.
Can anyone point me to a resource for a schematic for these guns? Im comfortable working on old guns, but mostly I work on LC Smiths. I could likely figure it out if I just jumped into it, but Id much prefer to know where I was going before I started pulling it apart.
Thanks,
John
