How to install selector lever/cutoff

[butlersrangers]

You start the cut-off's shaft into its hole in the receiver until the detent-pin stops progress. Then use a small screwdriver tip to depress the detent-pin, while advancing the cut-off forward into place. (Kind of the reverse of attached sketch).

It helps if the detent-pin is lubricated and not bound up with ancient dried grease.

I tried doing that last night. Just got frustrated. I'm gonna give it a go again today. Thanks

Soak your cut-off in some Hoppe's #9, overnight. Press and work the detent-pin, against a piece of hardwood, before trying to install. It is amazing the 'red gunk' that gets pumped out of the assembly, sometimes.
