Forward action pin lug isn't radiused correctly on this one so the upper won't pin to the lower nor pivot.
Had to use my rotary table and radius fixture, then go to the pin gauges and lathe to make an alignment pin to fit the upper and the center-drilled hole in the end of the radius fixture center pilot pin.
Got half of it done and test fitted,
Then had to swap the clamp around and do the other side far enough for the action to open all the way.
I left that last little bit to save what finish I could, and that's as far as it needed to be relieved.
