Re: Neat park double rifle with bad ribs...who could fix this?

Yesterday's range trip with the repaired rifle was a decent success. Still work to do, but regulation doesn't seem to have been destroyed, even though the top and bottom ribs, sights and forearm lug were removed and relayed. Gunsmith said there was pitting below the ribs and those had been off once before in his opinion.

Range was only 30 yards. Load working the best so far was 150 grain LRN hollow base 358" bullets from Bear Creek Supply. I tried this patched and unpatched. Unpatched worked better. Powder was H4198, at 21.3gr. Target shows the barrels crossing by 2-3". I also tried 170gr LRN and 158gr JSP.

Next step is to try a lighter charge to see if that brings the impact closer together. And I want to pull the locks and see if there is a reason the right lock's trigger pull is so much higher than the left/rear. Might be overtightened into lock mortise?

Pics to follow.
