Wayne1 Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Questiin for any gunsmiths on here I bought a baikal hammer side by side today and found the top lock pin has broke (the one that comes out the side of the reciever when you brake the gun) My question is is this needed as it also has the 2 bottom catches same as normal side by side and locks tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 The triple locking system appears to be a belt and braces affair. Whilst I am sure it won't fly open, why take the chance? I would be as concerned about what appears to be fairly heavy rusting. I hope it is just grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Has it actually broken ie snapped or is it just not moving when you operate the top lever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord v Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Was that barrel pressed into service as a bean pole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne1 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Its heavily coated in dry grease and no rust , on the lever that breaks the barrels theres another small bar comming of it that goes into the cross bolt to open and shut it its actually that whats snapped and is to small to weld back together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunman Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Most cross bolts dont do a great deal and many older side by sides that had them have had them taken due to the finger on the leaver breaking . Personally I would not worry to much as long as the bottom bolt is biting correctly . I do not use the awful US term "locking up". Repairing the leaver is OK but unless it is exact then it may be that the cross bolt does not close fully ,or, does not open fully so will catch the extension so it will not do its job and is next to useless .

Wayne1 Posted April 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Yeah the bottom is getting a nice bite , got the crosbolt working fine its closing and opening fully think it was more luck then anything ,got the little lever just right ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
