I have a Browning Model 81 BLR, 7 mm Mag. Following a very dusty dirty hunt in TX, I took out the breech, lever and trigger mechanism to throughly clean the gun. When reassembled, the breech mechanism does not fully lock. As a result, the gun does not fire. I called Browning and was informed it would have to be sent back to them to be "retimed". Actually, they will not do it either, and I have been asked to send it to Mid West Gun Works, at considerable cost.
The gun comes apart and went back together with ease. Two questions, does anyone have knowledge that they would share with me on how to get it working again, and if not is there a local gunsmith that is knowledgeable about this weapon and would know how to "retime" this gun?
