Would like to remove my top lever.Guns a Merkel on clone with hidden double Purdey extensions with a cross bolt.Can I pull it without pulling the stock.Long shot I know.Pipeliner
Hey Brother pipeliner-- forgive my intrusive ??- but for what reason(s) would you want to do this? I've only shot 2 Merkels in the past 40 years that I can recall- both were top shelf double guns- flawless in wood to metal, balance points- If only they didn't have the cheekpiece Continental buttstocks, and were in 16 gauge-- RWTF
Its a shooter going to tart her up.Nitride blue the trigger guard and top lever lever.Russ said its ok as long can make a phone call to get your money back.Regards
With a cross bolt there is a connection from the top lever to the cross bolt. In order to disassemble that system the connector spindle from the bolt is inserted from the bottom through the bolt and up into the top lever. You can't remove the top lever just by removing the top lever screw.
