Thanks Les, I will do. Hope you’re doing okay and enjoying life. This collecting has a lot to answer to! May make Kempton in September are you planning on going?

I had a Mercury Challenger (same action, beech stock) in 94. The buffer washer was never a problem as it was removed and the hole for the securing roll pin was redrilled, all to increase the swept volume. Removing the washer gave a little more power but not enough to push it over the limit and produced a smoother firing cycle.

Yep I’ve seen that mod and it’s a good idea. The buffer was only really a problem in getting the old one out. It had disintegrated and gummed up the piston in the cylinder making it frustratingly difficult to remove.

Probably a no for Kempton ,we have moved house and there is still loads to do in the new place.

I know the feeling Les we moved 18 months ago and I just don’t seem to get the time for shooting as sorting house things out.
Hope you settle in well and a local club is a bonus.
No doubt we’ll catch up at some point.
Cheers
Dave
