Yes... the joy!!!  I'm aging exponentially just reading about it!  Oh, and I was going to make the "Size of the liver" remark too... but I held off.   Of course I should have known you would point it out anyway.  :D But seriously, back to the '95 - With the new lever's better contact, does it now work?  If they are both marked "A", then maybe the problem lies elsewhere...  but I'm just speculationizing!

The improved contact point is only a few thousandths.  Kinda like one is worn a tad more than the other.  So I put the other in place.  Still need to find the correct carrier.  Of course there could be another problem after that too.  The knee is connected to the leg bone...blah blah blah type of thing.

I even signed on the Winchester Arms Collecters Association forum and asked the question and while it could be too soon for a reply all I have gotten is the sound of crickets
