Stripping my s/h 0.22 Remington Express Compact

[Mr.Fixit-Norm]

Hi Norm,

I have just got it out of the bag for the first time and cocked it, it sounded dry when being cocked so I pulled the stock off (the front trigger screw was in solid), and you are right, it's as dry as a nun's cuff. I'm not even going to chrono it until next week when I'm off work and can spend some time on it.
Here's a picture, the guide is still white.

I just can’t understand why they do that, it’s crazy I wonder how long they’d last in the hands of someone who didn’t know anything about greasing them ?

I’ll let you off the hobnobs bet as I reckoned I was on to a dead cert anyway

It’ll be interesting to see what it’s doing once it’s lubed up

If it’s anything like mine there’ll be a fair bit of preload on it as well. If you need any info on the strip don’t hesitate to pm me, or even give me a call on PURUURIYIRO ( substitute the letters for numbers on a std qwerty keyboard ).

I could probably strip mine in the dark now !

I think I'll be taking you up on the advice if you don't mind.

I'm the opposite to you as I normally get up at 1.15am but it might take me 8 hours to strip it down.

Crikey, I’m quite often going to bed as you get up ! I’m guessing it’s for work !

Absolutely.

I couldn’t resist it, my Venoman setback trigger for the Remy arrived today, and very nice it is too, also very clear fitting instructions with pictures
I know what tomorrow’s workshop job is

Norm.
