Sharps Rifle Tumbler Issue
Today at 9:14pm
Print Post  
I’m putting a Sharps rifle together from C Sharps parts, while fitting the receiver and lock onto a stock I got from Mike Bassett I noticed the last spur on the tumbler is broke off. It still functions and catches the sear but has definitely snapped off at some point. I guess I’ll be contacting C Sharps tomorrow and see if they’ll send me one. This is a new action I bought from a member off here so there’s no warranty I’m sure.

That is the problem I have had with 4140 steel tumblers and hammers.
Went to casehardened mild steel and the problem went away.
