. . . and the lever does it all, pulls back the double underbite, pulls down and returns the bifurcated rising bite, cocks the "catapult" type strikers. Now that my lever return spring is in, gun reassembled, the "arrowheads" of checkering recut at head of stock and stock refinished with slackum, I should be busy right now fabricating a replacement sling disconnect for mine (retract mech is good) but I got distracted by a cheap marine gps plotter program with PC as the chartplotter (just out on the road with the whole rig and a DC/AC inverter a few minutes ago). And Xmas got in the way also. Should ask if the original disconnect is brass or steel? I think brass might not be rigid enuf given the delicate dimensions of the yoke arms. Very good fotos of the disconnect in the GunBroker ad; obvious how the upper lip of the disconnect fairs into the steel keeper inlet in the stock and shows the engraving. Are the "stopper" horns on the disconnect always crosshatched?
EDIT: I see now that the disconnect is definitely steel.
