I have a 6PPC on a Stole Panda action. It was built about 1994. Never had a problem with it. I am on the 3rd barrel. I removed a live cartridge and forgot to use a cleaning to keep the bullet lodged in the case. Of course, powder got over everything and as usual it was hard to remove. Powder also lodged in the trigger and so I removed the trigger for cleaning. Put it all back together and bolt would not cock. Removed the trigger several times and still no luck.
Next I called Kelbly's to see if they had any suggestions. As usual, the folks there suggested I sent them the trigger and the bolt for testing. While it was there, the polished the bold and rebuilt the bolt with new springs and a few minor parts. They were very commnitive. Of course they did not have the trigger hanger. Who ever heard of a trigger hanger causing a problem.
So I next contacted my old pal Keith Weil. Driving to his takes me about five hours round trip and ten gallons of gas. At 87 years old, that is not a small feat.
So off I went. Keith played with the rifle for over two hours. By the way, it is a Jewel trigger. Luck for me he had a lot of spare parts. The only thing that he hadn't tried was the hanger. After installing the hanger, problem solved.
When it was time to pay the bill, he would only allow me to pay for the part. Said he would consider it a learning experience. I would make that trip every day if I needed to. His shop is wonderfully equipped with very modern equipment. And the rifles he turns out are outstanding.
Anyway, That's my story and I am sticking to it.
