REMINGTON SPARTAN

[Flinthills Dawg]

I just purchased one and was wondering what I can do to let the barrels open up further and stay open. When I open the action the barrels have a tendency to want to close up a bit. It is a 12 guage if that makes a difference.

  Thanks

The Remington is the Beikal, and though I had neither, I'm told it was the same as my Old Stoeger.
Polish the hinge area and the forearm to hinge mating surface.
Some lightened the lever spring, But I found it unnecessary.
I did have to deburr the ejector/lifter rod and bore...

I also needed just a bit of valve grinding compound on a sacrificial 12 gauge bore mop turned on my cordless drill to get the hulls to slip out slickly....

check out the maurader website. the problem is not the hinge but the cocking levers. on his site, he gives you a email address for papa dave. you can get new cocking levers for 25 buck. i bought em and they work perfectly.
