Title: Weaver no gunsmith mount???
Post by: Dbrnmllr on July 10, 2011, 12:13:35 AM
I installed this on my 1187 and if I tighten it as tight as I can get it the action binds up and won't cycle.  If I loosen them back up a half turn then it cycles fine.  Everything is still tight, just want o make sure I am not missing something.  Thought about a thin brass washer between thee trigger and receiver, but not real keen on adding parts.  Someone have any experience with this?  Thanks.

I was told by the only gunsmith around here that the receiver was to thin.  Its only a STD 3".  Was I told wrong?

I have used the B-Square and Millet brands and you tighten them well and if they bind some just back off till the action works. No problems for me.

That is kind of what I figured, just wants some others thoughts.  Thank you.
