LOL, just dug my Navy Arms Country Boy inline out of a pile of stuff this morning.
Bought it NIB 20+ years ago, for $70.
Shot it 3 times.
20+ years ago.
80 gr 2F, 1.5 oz shot.
1st shot, OK.
2nd shot felt weird.
3rd shot, barrel came off stock.
Upon inspection, barrel hold down lug tore out of dovetail in bottom of barrel.
Webbed portion of stock where hold down sits had collapsed, maybe during 2nd shot?
Contacted Navy Arms, they sent me a new stock, no message, no nothing.
Was going to reinforce webbed area of new stock and weld holdown lug into dovetail.
Asked my machinist brother to reset it and weld it. He looked at it for 30 seconds and headed for the chopsaw!
LOL, I grabbed it back and it's been sitting 20+ years.
Just came across it this am, decided to mess with it, but can't find lug.
So searched for it, and found your thread.
What could go.wrong, lol?
