2023-03-01 00:36:07 +0000 UTCAt 26:31 during the disassembly of the 400 Othais says to "rotate the barrel clockwise" but then rotates the barrel counterclockwise. Doh! AOBTW: For any that that may be interested... My BFF found a "deal" on a 1921 Astra 400 at the local gunshow with a super'smooth trigger, which turned out to send 4 bitter pills downrange (and over top of the berm) in about 6 nanoseconds before he could let go of the trigger! This bit of excitement turned out to be caused by a broken sear return spring!!! Which when replaced returned his "really smooth trigger" to mil-spec standard heavy and grotty.
