.410 SxS project

[KahrMan]

I friend of mine was given a 410 sxs that didn't work. He didn't want to fool with it so he gave it to me. My initial reaction was what a piece of junk. There was rust spots all over the exterior. The safety was frozen and the main problem was the triggers would not reset. The more I held it and threw it up to my shoulder the more i like it. I decided that this could be a fun little gun to play around with.

I took it apart to see what I was dealing with. Good gravy what a mess. There was rust and solidified oil every where.

This looks like a job for the dremel with a little wire brush wheel. I took it apart and went to town on every piece of metal I could find. When I finished, everywhere I could reach was smooth and clean. Then I started using gun scrubber for the places the dremel would reach. Most of the parts where in good shape but I did replace some of the springs. I replaced the cocking lever springs, firing pin springs and the sear springs.

I gave all the interior parts a nice light coating of lubricant and put it back together. I pushed the top lever and broke it open and heard the nice clicks of the triggers resetting. Closed it and pushed the safety to the off position and pulled the first trigger...click...pulled the second trigger...click...aaahhhhh Success!!!!!!!

This turned out to be a fun little project. I've got maybe $25 invested in it and I couldn't be happier.
