Due to an unfortunate hot water heater issue, I was forced to yank a bunch of stuff out of one of my gun cabinets. Included in these was my late father-in-law's old truck gun, a battered, nondescript Stevens Model 86C with a bent front sight that doesn't do anything but shoot exactly where it is aimed. While I had it out, I noticed that the safety wasn't working: the gun would "fire" with the safety in the "SAFE ->" position. It took just a moment to remove the action from the stock and just a moment longer to see the trigger pin was missing. Nope. Couldn't find it. What I did have was a Lionel O-27 track pin that is almost the right diameter. A few passes with a hacksaw shortened it to the appropriate length, and now the safety works fine! I'll get the right size pin soon, because the trigger is a little wobbly, but as long as I'm careful when taking the action out of the stock, we should be fine!
