Hey guys,
I have been looking at an old .22 my grandmother gave my father a while ago that I never got around to shooting. It's a J. Stevens Arms Crackshot 26 and it's in pretty darn good condition considering how old it is. I wasnt sure on what I could shoot out of it because my dad thought you could only shoot shorts through it but it says it's a 22 Long Rifle, I know J. Stevens invented the 22lr cartridge plus I've seen others confirm it does shoot lr so I'm not too concerned about that.
What I am concerned about is that the lever seems a little loose and when the hammer is cocked does not remain up. It just drops right down opening the action. I was wondering if this was typical and if I can just hold it up when firing or if something is broken/loose. Otherwise it seems good. Bore is clean and the hammer fires with each trigger pull like expected. Any expertise is appreciated. Thanks again guys.
