Any suggestions on how to tighten one of these? The barrels are slightly off face and there is no hinge pin to replace, its more of a lug built into the mechanism,

Can you share a picture or two? If it is the action I am thinking of the underlug acts as a large wedge.

photos need to be hosted on another sight such as photobucket or flickr. If you can not figure it out you can send it directly to me.

Boy that is a new design on me. Looks like what would be the hinge pin rotates with the barrels. I would start with some slips of paper on the hook and see what that does. A very poor design.....

I believe they refer to it as a Lefaucheux action shotgun developed about 1830 by a Frenchman named Casmir Lefaucheux. I have a few Husqvarna shotguns with this action. Unfortunately I haven't needed to tighten up one of these actions before so I can't help in that area. I will do some searching and see what I can find...

A slip of .010 card stock seems to have tightened up things quite nicely. I think I'll get a metal shim a few thousands thicker and the refit the barrels to the face.

That's an old gun . I Have some concern as to the soundness of the lump unless its just the angle of the photo .
Was it a pin fire originally?
