Title: Re: Krag loading gate-follower question

It measures 9/16 inch at the point you indicated. But why is my gate opening so wide? Time to take it apart. I just swapped out the ?gate and hinge bar pin with another gate and pin that I had. It’s not as pretty but doesn’t seem to open any where near as far as the original one. Opens like the gate on my scout. Other than a whole lotta crud on the original gate, pin, spring etc I didn’t see anything broken. Both of the squarish gate studs looked the same, I didn’t think to mic them. Must have been wear on the original gate. Looks good now.  Thanks, BE
