I don't think they will fix it, but they might replace it. I don't think they will want that rifle out there where it might be fired again. So, you will have to decide if the nostalgic value is worth more than a new rifle. I have a 1895 and it's completely different, and I started noticing what I thought was a headspace problem, the primers were backing out, after some research I found out some of the bolts were soft and could be pushed back by some of the newer higher pressure ammo. You would never know by looking at it. So, if Win won't do anything, make sure you get a guy well versed in levers, your rifle will require a very thorough inspection. If you decide to make a wall hanger out of it, make sure that rifle won't fire again. I wish you luck on your journey.</p></blockquote><p></p>
