Re: ever see one of these winchester lever rimfires ?

Only ever seen one in the UK for sale many years ago. I often wonder where it is.

Be careful cleaning it, just let the solvent do it stuff and use simple pull throughs.

Re: Converting Miroku/Late Model Winchester Rebounding Hammer & Tang Safety to Traditional

Rebounders get a bad rap because they can cause misfires.
I don't mind them and understand them.
Light strikes can be easily overcome by removing some material from the lower portion acting on the hammer to rebound it. And it doesn't take much but it will improve reliability.
