well the 1300 XTR did follow me home....
stripped and deep cleaned it and then to my dismay found that the safety was stuck in the off position....
I didn't want to attempt to take apart the trigger group assembly, and the seller said he'd pay the cost of returning it, or reimburse me for the cost of having a local gun smith work it.
Went down to the Rod & Gun on Sat. and got a recommendation to soak it in brake cleaner and blow it out with air before I go to the smith.
Dug an old (really old) can of brake cleaner out of my shed and was only able to get a little stream out.....but managed to get a good bit into the bottom of the trigger group.................
Sprayed it out with air and "click, click"...........problems solved..........
Blasted cans out back in the woods and everything seems to work just fine.....I think she's a keeper.
I'll try to post some pics............it's an older "extra" model and is really pretty (guess I've become a sucker for high gloss walnut and a deep blue finnish).
