Last spring a friend of a friend brought in a Elsie that was doubling. It didn't make any differance whether the selector was in the r/l or the l/r position. The first thing I noticed was that the side plate screws were all buggered up and the outline of the trigger plate was dinged up a bit, but other that that it was in nice condition. I looked it over and spent about 20 minutes just cleaning all of the gunk and old grease from all the small parts.The "bob-weight" pendulum spring was rather siezed. I did not disassemble it. After taking a long time to figure out how it actually worked I re-tentioned the "safety spur lever" spring and was able to get it to single fire in the r/l mode but never got it to single fire in the l/r mode. Does anyone have any thought about how to get both side working properly? The artical in in Mar/Apr Shooting Sportsman by Vic Vetters got my thoughts going.
Thanks, Joe
